Ezekiel 43:3, REV Bible and Commentary

And the vision that I saw was like the vision that I saw when he^a came to destroy the city, and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the Chebar canal, and I fell upon my face.

^a[3]

The MT reads “I” but some ancient MSS read “he”

“when he came to destroy the city.” The Hebrew text was apparently corrupted from “he” to “I,” and this is explained in many commentaries. Ezekiel never came to destroy the city, destroying spirits did (cp. Ezek. 9:1-11).

“by the Chebar Canal.” Ezekiel was by the Chebar canal when he received his early visions (Ezek. 1:1).
