Context — The Vision of God's Glorygenerated

5The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.
6When the LORD commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from within the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.
7Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand and took some of the fire that was among them. And he put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who received it and went out.
8(The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.)

Ezekiel 10:6 describes a moment in Ezekiel's vision where the LORD gives a command to a man dressed in linen. This scene is part of a larger vision that reveals God's presence and the role of the cherubim. The context emphasizes the holiness of God's instructions and the significance of the actions taken within the vision, highlighting the relationship between the divine and the earthly.

The Key Word בְּצַוֹּתוֹ, be.tza.vo.Togenerated

The Hebrew word צָוָה (tsavah) means to command or give orders. It indicates an authoritative directive, often from a superior to an inferior, and is used in contexts where tasks or responsibilities are assigned.

In this verse, it shows the LORD's sovereignty and the obedience required from the man in linen. The use of the infinitive construct emphasizes the action of commanding as a significant part of the divine interaction in the vision.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

In the Berean Standard Bible, the phrase is rendered as when commanded, which aligns with the KJV's when he commanded and the ASV's when he commanded.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The verse is structured around one main clause initiated by the verb וַיְהִ֗י, and it was, which sets the scene for the command given by the LORD. The main clause is followed by a series of phrases detailing the action taken by the man in linen.

The order of the Hebrew words places emphasis on the command itself, highlighting the authority of the LORD and the immediate response of the man.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates בְּצַוֹּתוֹ with ἐν, indicating a similar sense of command. This choice reflects a direct rendering of the Hebrew concept of divine instruction.

The translation maintains the authority of the command while adapting to the Greek language structure, showing continuity in the understanding of divine directives.

Man

(1.) Heb. ‘Adam, used as the proper name of the first man. The name is derived from a word meaning “to be red,” and thus the first man was called Adam because he was formed from the red earth. It is also the generic name of the human race (Gen. 1:26, 27; 5:2; 8:21; Deut. 8:3). Its equivalents are the Latin homo and the Greek anthropos (Matt. 5:13, 16). It denotes also man in opposition to woman (Gen. 3:12; Matt. 19:10).

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Ancient Egypt was noted for its fine linen (Ge 41:42; Isa 19:9).

The culture of flax in Palestine probably antedated the conquest, for in

Flax was early cultivated in Egypt (Ex. 9:31), and also in Palestine (Josh. 2:6; Hos. 2:9). Various articles were made of it: garments (2 Sam. 6:14), girdles (Jer. 13:1), ropes and thread (Ezek. 40:3), napkins (

Fire

(1.) For sacred purposes. The sacrifices were consumed by fire (Gen. 8:20). The ever-burning fire on the altar was first kindled from heaven (Lev. 6:9, 13; 9:24), and afterwards rekindled at the dedication of Solomon’s temple (2 Chr. 7:1, 3). The expressions “fire from heaven” and “fire of the Lord” generally denote lightning, but sometimes also the fire of the altar was so called (Ex. 29:18; Lev. 1:9; 2:3; 3:5, 9).

Fire for a sacred purpose obtained otherwise than from the altar was called “strange fire” (Lev. 10:1, 2;

(Exodus 3:2; 14:19) etc. There could not be a better symbol for Jehovah than this of fire, it being immaterial, mysterious, but visible, warming, cheering, comforting, but also terrible and consuming. Parallel with this application of fire and with its symbolical meaning are to be noted the similar use for sacrificial purposes and the respect paid to it, or to the heavenly bodies as symbols of deity, which prevailed among so many nations of antiquity, and of which the traces are not even now extinct; e.g. the Sabean and Magian systems of worship.

Wheel

(Heb. galgal; rendered “wheel” in Ps. 83:13, and “a rolling thing” in Isa. 17:13; R.V. in both, “whirling dust”). This word has been supposed to mean the wild artichoke, which assumes the form of a globe, and in autumn breaks away from its roots, and is rolled about by the wind in some places in great numbers.

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

Ps 83:13, translated "rolling thing" in Isa 17:13. Mr. Thomson, for many years a missionary in Syria, thinks the wild artichoke may here be referred to. This plant sends out numerous stalks or branches of equal length in all directions, forming a globe a foot in diameter. These globes become rigid and light as a feather in autumn, and thousands of them fly rolling and bounding over the plains, the sport of every wind. This "rolling thing" furnishes the modern Arabs with a current proverb and a curse.
