² And behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate which faces north, each with his smashing weapon in his hand; and among them was ^(A)one man clothed in linen with a scribe’s kit at his waist. And they came in and stood beside the bronze altar.

⁶ And ^(A)someone said to the man ^(B)dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, “^(C)How long will it be until the end of these wonders?”

⁷ And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, ^[a]as he ^(A)raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by ^(B)Him who lives forever that it would be for a ^[b](C)time, ^[c]times, and half a ^[d]time; and as soon as ^[e]they finish ^(D)smashing the ^[f]power of the holy people, all these events will be completed.
