Certain elders of Israel come to Ezekiel and sit before him, presumably to seek a word from the Lord through the true prophet. This scene establishes a formal context for prophetic inquiry, with Israel's leadership approaching the prophet in their official capacity. The elders' presence suggests institutional religion and official channels of seeking God's guidance. However, the next verse reveals that their ostensible piety masks a deeper spiritual problem.
