uW Translation Notes:

General Information:

Ezekiel tells about another vision he saw.

(Occurrence 0) So it came about

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in,year (the),sixth in,[month] on_[day],five of,month I sitting in,house_of,my and,the_elders_of Yehuda sitting before,,me and,it_fell on,me there hand_of my=master GOD )

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.

Note 1 topic: translate-ordinal

(Occurrence 0) in the sixth year

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in,year (the),sixth in,[month] on_[day],five of,month I sitting in,house_of,my and,the_elders_of Yehuda sitting before,,me and,it_fell on,me there hand_of my=master GOD )

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 also: figs-explicit)

Note 2 topic: translate-hebrewmonths

(Occurrence 0) the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in,year (the),sixth in,[month] on_[day],five of,month I sitting in,house_of,my and,the_elders_of Yehuda sitting before,,me and,it_fell on,me there hand_of my=master GOD )

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 also: translate-ordinal)

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) the hand of the Lord Yahweh again fell upon me

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in,year (the),sixth in,[month] on_[day],five of,month I sitting in,house_of,my and,the_elders_of Yehuda sitting before,,me and,it_fell on,me there hand_of my=master GOD )

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.

(Occurrence 0) Lord Yahweh

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in,year (the),sixth in,[month] on_[day],five of,month I sitting in,house_of,my and,the_elders_of Yehuda sitting before,,me and,it_fell on,me there hand_of my=master GOD )

See how you translated this in Ezekiel 2:4.
