Ezekiel 9:1-3

1Then He cried out in my hearing with a loud 1voice saying, “Draw near, 2O executioners of the city, each with his destroying weapon in his hand.” 2Behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate which faces north, each with his shattering weapon in his hand; and among them was 3a certain man clothed in linen with a 4writing case at his loins. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.

3Then the 5glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub on which it had been, to the threshold of the 6temple. And He called to the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the writing case.
