# So it came about
|
|
|
|
This phrase is used here to mark the beginning of a new part of the story. Ezekiel tells about another vision he saw.

|
# in the sixth year
|
|
|
|
"in the sixth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin"
|
|
|
|
# the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month
|
|
|
|
"the fifth day of the sixth month". This is the sixth month of the Hebrew calendar. The fifth day is near the beginning of September on Western calendars.

|
# the hand of the Lord Yahweh again fell upon me
|
|
|
|
This should be translated literally, as Ezekiel later sees something like a hand.
|
|
|
|
# Lord Yahweh
|
|
|
|
See how you translated this in Ezekiel 2:4.
|
|
|
|
# fell upon
|
|
|
|
"took hold of" |
