    • Abstract:
      Ezekiel 9 and 10 feature a supernatural figure described as a man “clothed in linen ... (Ezek . 9:2) . This article identifies this and related expressions (including those in Daniel) as calques of Akkadian labiš kitê, used to describe certain classes of priests or perhaps as a term for a class of priests itself.
