And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 9 of Ezekiel. Six executioners receive orders concerning Jerusalem’s judgment, while a man dressed in linen must mark those who groan over the abominations. The contrast distinguishes those who reject corruption from those who participate in it. Judgment begins at the sanctuary, emphasizing the responsibility of those who know the holy place.

Und siehe, es kamen sechs Männer auf dem Wege vom Obertor her, das gegen Mitternacht steht; und ein jeglicher hatte eine schädliche Waffe in seiner Hand. Aber es war einer unter ihnen der hatte Leinwand an und ein Schreibzeug an seiner Seite. Und sie gingen hinein und traten neben den ehernen Altar.
Y he aquí que seis varones venían del camino de la puerta de arriba que está vuelta al aquilón, y cada uno traía en su mano su instrumento para destruir. Y entre ellos había un varón vestido de lienzos, el cual traía a su cintura una escribanía de escribano; y entrados, paráronse junto al altar de bronce.
Et voici, six hommes arrivèrent par le chemin de la porte supérieure du côté du septentrion, chacun son instrument de destruction à la main. Il y avait au milieu d'eux un homme vêtu de lin, et portant une écritoire à la ceinture. Ils vinrent se placer près de l'autel d'airain.
Ed ecco sei uomini, che venivano di verso la porta alta, che riguarda verso il Settentrione, avendo ciascuno in mano le sue armi da dissipare; e nel mezzo di loro vi era un uomo vestito di panni lini, il quale avea un calamaio di scrivano in su i lombi; ed essi entrarono, e si fermarono presso all’altare di rame.
E eis que vinham seis homens a caminho da porta superior, que olha para o norte, e cada um com a sua arma destruidora na mão, e entre eles um homem vestido de linho, com um tinteiro de escrivão à sua cintura; e entraram, e se puseram junto ao altar de bronze.
看哪,有六個人從朝北的 上門 而來,各人手裏拿著致命的兵器;他們當中有一人身穿細麻衣,腰間繫著文士用的墨盒。他們進來,站在銅的祭壇旁。
