Ancient translations in Koine Greek:

Verse 1

Moreover the spirit lifted me up,
and brought me unto the east gate of the Lord's house, which looketh eastward:
and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men;
among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur,
and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.[4]
  • "Jaazaniah the son of Azur" Not to be confused with "Jaazaniah the son of Saphan" in Ezekiel 8:11. A seal dated to 7th century BC with the name "Jaazaniah" was found, although the exact identification to which Jaazaniah is difficult.[5]
  • "Pelatiah" (Hebrew: פלטיהו pə-laṭ-yā-hū; Greek: Φαλτιας, Φαλεττι(α); Pelatyahu or Pelatyah[6]): means "whom Jehovah delivered."[7] His death is noted in Ezekiel 11:13.

Verse 22

Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. [8]
  • "Cherub" (Hebrew: כרוב kə-rūḇ; plural: Cherubim): in Brown-Driver-Briggs is defined as "the living chariot of the theophanic God."[9] Gesenius describes it as "a being of a sublime and celestial nature."[10]

Verse 23

And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city,
and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.[11]
