The Key Word — פָּלַט, u.fal.Tugenerated
The verb פָּלַט (palat) means to escape or slip away, often in the context of deliverance from danger. It indicates a successful exit from perilous situations, such as the Israelites escaping Egypt. The parsing as a sequential perfect third person common plural suggests that this action is a completed event for multiple subjects.
This word captures the essence of survival, as the escapees are those who have managed to flee from destruction. The use of פָּלַט in this verse highlights the theme of God's deliverance amid judgment.

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses escapees for פְּלִ֣יטֵיהֶ֔ם.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb וּפָֽלְטוּ֙ (and they will escape) governs the entire clause, indicating the action of the survivors. The structure includes noun phrases for the subject and object, as well as prepositional phrases that provide additional context about their destination and state.
The Hebrew word order emphasizes the action of escaping first, followed by the description of their destination and emotional state, which underscores the urgency and gravity of the situation.

The word ἀποκτενῶ for הֹמ֑וֹת suggests a broader interpretation of their cries, possibly indicating a more intense emotional state than simply mourning.

In the mourning “every one for his iniquity,” iniquity is to be understood in the sense of the punishment for iniquity; the thought of repentance is not here brought forward. Their utter discouragement and feebleness and grief are further described in Ezekiel 7:17-18.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text of Ezekiel 7:16 states that the survivors will escape and live in the mountains, mourning like doves of the valley, each for his own iniquity. The Septuagint, while it matches 8 of the 11 words in a word-by-word correspondence, does not provide a complete translation for this verse, indicating that it may differ in wording or structure from the Masoretic Text. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls are not mentioned here, suggesting that there may be no additional witnesses to compare for this specific verse.

Are among the most sublime and impressive of the Creator’s works on earth, and from the noblest and most enduring monuments of great events. Most of the mountains of Scripture thus stand as witnesses for God—every view of their lofty summits, and every recurrence to them in thought reminding us of the sacred facts and truths connected with them. Thus Mount Ararat is a standing memorial of the deluge of man’s sin, God’s justice, and God’s mercy. Mount Sinai asserts the terrors of the divine law. Mount Carmel summons us, like the prophet Elijah of old, not to "halt between two opinions;" but if Jehovah is God, to love and serve him. The mount of the Transfiguration still shines with the glory of the truths there taught, and Mounts Ebal and Gerizim still echo the curses and the blessings once so solemnly pronounced from them. So Mount Hor, Nebo, Lebanon, and Gilboa have been signalized by…

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man.
