Vulgate (Clementine): Et factum est in anno septimo, in quinto, in decima mensis, venerunt viri de senioribus Israël ut interrogarent Dominum, et sederunt coram me.
Septuagint (Swete): Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ἑβδόμῳ τῇ πεντεκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς ἦλθον ἄνδρες ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων οἴκου Ἰσραὴλ ἐπερωτῆσαι τὸν κύριον, καὶ ἐκάθισαν πρὸ προσώπου μου.
Hebrew (WLC): וַיְהִ֣י בַּשָּׁנָ֣ה הַשְּׁבִיעִ֗ית בַּֽחֲמִשִׁי֙ בֶּעָשׂ֣וֹר לַחֹ֔דֶשׁ בָּ֧אוּ אֲנָשִׁ֛ים מִזִּקְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לִדְרֹ֣שׁ אֶת יְהוָ֑ה וַיֵּשְׁב֖וּ לְפָנָֽי

Haydock's commentary

Month: the year of the world 3411, August 27. (Usher)

Ezechiel had prophesied in the fourth year; then was silent a year and two months, or 430 days. He opened his mouth again in the sixth year, (chap. viii. 1.) and now in the seventh year he is ordered not to answer. (Worthington)

We know not what the ancients wanted to know; but their design was evil. (Calmet)
