# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel tells about another vision he saw.
|
|
|
|
# So it came about
|
|
|
|
This phrase is used here to mark the beginning of a new part of the story. If your language has a way for doing this, you could consider using it here.

# in the sixth year
|
|
|
|
You may need to make explicit the time period of which this is the sixth year. Alternate translation: "in the sixth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-ordinal]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

|
|
# the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month
|
|
|
|
This is the sixth month of the Hebrew calendar. The fifth day is near the beginning of September on Western calendars. Alternate translation: "the fifth day of the sixth month" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-hebrewmonths]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-ordinal]])

|
# the hand of the Lord Yahweh again fell upon me
|
|
|
|
This should be translated literally, as Ezekiel later sees something like a hand. Others may choose to consider the hand a metaphor for Yahweh's presence or power. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# Lord Yahweh
|
|
|
|
See how you translated this in [Ezekiel 2:4](../02/04.md).
