Ezekiel 9:1 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

He — The man whom he had seen upon the throne. Them — Those whom God hath appointed to destroy the city: perhaps angels. Every man — Every one; 'tis an Hebrew idiom. Each of these had a weapon proper for that kind of destruction which he was to effect; and so, some to slay with the sword, another with the pestilence, another with famine. In his hand — Denoting both expedition in, and strength for the work.

Ezekiel 9:1

1 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
