Yehezkiel 3:12

Ezekiel Before the Exiles

3:12 Then a wind lifted me up ¹  and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me as the glory of the Lord rose from its place, ² 

Yehezkiel 3:23-24

3:23 So I got up and went out to the valley, and the glory of the Lord was standing there, just like the glory I had seen by the Kebar River, ³  and I threw myself face down.

3:24 Then a wind ⁴  came into me and stood me on my feet. The Lord ⁵  spoke to me and said, “Go shut yourself in your house.

[3:12]  ¹ sn See note on “wind” in 2:2.

[3:12]  ² tc This translation accepts the emendation suggested in BHS of בְּרוּם (bÿrum) for בָּרוּךְ (barukh). The letters mem (מ) and kaph (כ) were easily confused in the old script while בָּרוּךְ (“blessed be”) both implies a quotation which is out of place here and also does not fit the later phrase, “from its place,” which requires a verb of motion.

[3:23]  ³ tn Or “canal.”

[3:24]  ⁴ tn See the note on “wind” in 2:2.

[3:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “he.”
