1.2 KiB
General Information:
Ezekiel tells about another vision he saw.
So it came about
This phrase is used here to mark the beginning of a new part of the story. If your language has a way for doing this, you could consider using it here.
in the sixth year
You may need to make explicit the time period of which this is the sixth year. Alternate translation: "in the sixth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-ordinal and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month
This is the sixth month of the Hebrew calendar. The fifth day is near the beginning of September on Western calendars. Alternate translation: "the fifth day of the sixth month" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-hebrewmonths and rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-ordinal)
the hand of the Lord Yahweh again fell upon me
This should be translated literally, as Ezekiel later sees something like a hand. Others may choose to consider the hand a metaphor for Yahweh's presence or power. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
Lord Yahweh
See how you translated this in Ezekiel 2:4.
fell upon
"took hold of"
