- Would Ezekiel 9:1 indicate that Ezekiel 9 continues the prophecy of the chapter preceding?
- According to Ezekiel 9:2, where is this “event” (vision) taking place (judging by the reference to the copper or bronze altar)?
- In his vision, where does the prophet see the “presence of God”?
- Reference is made in Ezekiel 9:3 to the “man garbedin linen.” Where does this reference appear in the Yom Kippur liturgy (in one of the closing portions of Musaf)?
- How are the transgressors to be “marked” (Ezekiel 9:4)?
- And, having been so marked, what is the function of the “other six”?
- Ezekiel 9:6 indicates who is to be killed. Is anyone exempt from this fate?
- Who are the first to be “punished” and, presumably, for what reason?
- In Ezekiel 9:8, what is the prophet’s plaint to God?
- What is the response forthcoming from Divinity as the prophet “hears it” (Ezekiel 9:9-10)?
- In Ezekiel 9:11, the “man dressed in linen” states “I have done as You instructed me.” What is meant by this observation?
