Ezequiel 9:6

Listen to Ezequiel 9:6
6 Matai velhos, mancebos e virgens, criancinhas e mulheres, até exterminá-los; mas não vos chegueis a qualquer sobre quem estiver o sinal; e começai pelo meu santuário. Então começaram pelos anciãos que estavam diante da casa.

Ezequiel 9:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 9:6

Slay utterly old [and] young, both maids, and little children,
and women
All, of them objects of compassion, because of their age and sex; and yet none to be spared; and which orders were exactly obeyed; see ( 2 Chronicles 36:17 ) ; but come not near any man on whom [is] the mark;
these were not to be slain; and though some were carried captive, as Daniel, and others; yet it was for their good and God's glory; see ( Revelation 7:3 Revelation 7:4 ) ( Revelation 9:3 Revelation 9:4 ) ; and begin at my sanctuary;
the temple, the house of God, and the priests and Levites that dwelt there. The Septuagint version is, "begin at my saints"; those who professed themselves to be the saints of the Lord, and were separated and devoted to his service; and so the Rabbins say F25, do not read (yvdqmm) , "at my sanctuary"; but (yvdwqmm) , "at those that sanctify me", or "my sanctified ones"; which they interpret of those that keep the whole law, from "aleph" to "tau"; see ( 1 Peter 4:17 ) ; then they began at the ancient men which [were] before the house;
the seventy elders of Israel, who offered incense to the idols portrayed upon the walls of the chambers of the temple, ( Ezekiel 8:10 Ezekiel 8:11 ) ; these they slew first.

Ezequiel 9:6 In-Context

4 E disse-lhe o Senhor: Passa pelo meio da cidade, pelo meio de Jerusalém, e marca com um sinal as testas dos homens que suspiram e que gemem por causa de todas as abominações que se cometem no meio dela.
5 E aos outros disse ele, ouvindo eu: Passai pela cidade após ele, e feri; não poupe o vosso olho, nem vos compadeçais.
6 Matai velhos, mancebos e virgens, criancinhas e mulheres, até exterminá-los; mas não vos chegueis a qualquer sobre quem estiver o sinal; e começai pelo meu santuário. Então começaram pelos anciãos que estavam diante da casa.
7 E disse-lhes: Profanai a casa, e enchei os átrios de mortos; saí. E saíram, e feriram na cidade.
8 Sucedeu pois que, enquanto eles estavam ferindo, e ficando eu sozinho, caí com o rosto em terra, e clamei, e disse: Ah Senhor Deus! destruirás todo o restante de Israel, derramando a tua indignação sobre Jerusalém?
