¹ sn The judgment of plague and famine comes from the covenant curse (Lev 26:25-26). As in v. 10, the city of Jerusalem is figuratively addressed here.

² sn Judgment by plague, famine, and sword occurs in Jer 21:9; 27:13; Ezek 6:11, 12; 7:15.

³ sn By the sword and by famine and by pestilence. A similar trilogy of punishments is mentioned in Lev 26:25-26. See also Jer 14:12; 21:9; 27:8, 13; 29:18).

⁴ tn The Hebrew term is normally used as an architectural term in describing the pattern of the tabernacle or temple or a representation of it (see Exod 25:8; 1 Chr 28:11).

⁵ tn Or “spirit.” See note on “wind” in 2:2.

⁶ map For the location of Jerusalem see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

⁷ tn Or “image.”

⁸ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

⁹ sn The six men plus the scribe would equal seven, which was believed by the Babylonians to be the number of planetary deities.

¹⁰ sn The upper gate was built by Jotham (2 Kgs 15:35).

¹¹ tn Or “a scribe’s inkhorn.” The Hebrew term occurs in the OT only in Ezek 9 and is believed to be an Egyptian loanword.

¹² tn Heb “lifted.”

¹³ tn Or “the ground” (NIV, NCV).

¹⁴ tn Heb “ways.”

¹⁵ tn The verbs and persons in this verse are plural whereas the individual has been the subject of the chapter.

¹⁶ tn Or “leading to punishment.”

¹⁷ tn Or “on the right side,” i.e., the omen mark on the right side of the liver.

¹⁸ tn Heb “to open the mouth” for slaughter.

¹⁹ tn Heb “to raise up a voice in a battle cry.”

²⁰ tn Heb “and they will lift up over you a lament and they will say to you.”

²¹ tn Heb “O inhabitant.” The translation follows the LXX and understands a different Hebrew verb, meaning “cease,” behind the consonantal text. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 2:72, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:43.

²² tn Heb “she and her inhabitants who placed their terror to all her inhabitants.” The relationship of the final prepositional phrase to what precedes is unclear. The preposition probably has a specifying function here, drawing attention to Tyre’s inhabitants as the source of the terror mentioned prior to this. In this case, one might paraphrase verse 17b: “she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror; yes, her inhabitants (were the source of this terror).”

²³ tn Heb “walk [in].”

²⁴ tn Heb “and my statutes they will guard and they will do them.”

²⁵ sn Decorative palm trees were also a part of Solomon’s temple (1 Kgs 6:29, 32, 35).

²⁷ tn Heb “five thousand cubits” (i.e., 2.625 kilometers).

²⁸ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).
