Ezekiel 1:28

Context
1:28 like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds after the rain. 1  This was the appearance of the surrounding brilliant light; it looked like the glory of the Lord. When I saw 2  it, I threw myself face down, and I heard a voice speaking.

Ezekiel 5:12

Context
5:12 A third of your people will die of plague or be overcome by the famine within you. 3  A third of your people will fall by the sword surrounding you, 4  and a third I will scatter to the winds. I will unleash a sword behind them.

1 sn Reference to the glowing substance and the brilliant light and storm phenomena in vv. 27-28a echoes in reverse order the occurrence of these phenomena in v. 4.

2 tn The vision closes with the repetition of the verb “I saw” from the beginning of the vision in 1:4.

3 sn The judgment of plague and famine comes from the covenant curse (Lev 26:25-26). As in v. 10, the city of Jerusalem is figuratively addressed here.

4 sn Judgment by plague, famine, and sword occurs in Jer 21:9; 27:13; Ezek 6:11, 12; 7:15.
