Yehezkiel 1:11

1:11 Their wings were spread out above them; each had two wings touching the wings of one of the other beings on either side and two wings covering their bodies.

Yehezkiel 2:7

2:7 You must speak my words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.

Yehezkiel 3:8

3:8 “I have made your face adamant ¹  to match their faces, and your forehead hard to match their foreheads.

Yehezkiel 7:22

7:22 I will turn my face away from them and they will desecrate my treasured place. ²  Vandals will enter it and desecrate it. ³ 

Yehezkiel 7:24

7:24 I will bring the most wicked of the nations and they will take possession of their houses. I will put an end to the arrogance of the strong, and their sanctuaries ⁴  will be desecrated.

Yehezkiel 8:9

8:9 He said to me, “Go in and see the evil abominations they are practicing here.”

Yehezkiel 10:3

10:3 (The cherubim were standing on the south side ⁵  of the temple when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.)

Yehezkiel 11:18

11:18 “When they return to it, they will remove from it all its detestable things and all its abominations.

Yehezkiel 11:22

11:22 Then the cherubim spread ⁶  their wings with their wheels alongside them while the glory of the God of Israel hovered above them.

Yehezkiel 11:25

11:25 So I told the exiles everything ⁷  the Lord had shown me.

Yehezkiel 14:5

14:5 I will do this in order to capture the hearts of the house of Israel, who have alienated themselves from me on account of all their idols.’

Yehezkiel 15:8

15:8 I will make ⁸  the land desolate because they have acted unfaithfully, declares the sovereign Lord.”

Yehezkiel 16:18

16:18 You took your embroidered clothing and used it to cover them; you offered my olive oil and my incense to them.

Yehezkiel 16:26

16:26 You engaged in prostitution with the Egyptians, your sexually aroused neighbors, ⁹  multiplying your promiscuity and provoking me to anger.

Yehezkiel 16:29

16:29 Then you multiplied your promiscuity to the land of merchants, Babylonia, ¹⁰  but you were not satisfied there either.

Yehezkiel 16:60

16:60 Yet I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish a lasting ¹¹  covenant with you.

Yehezkiel 16:62

16:62 I will establish my covenant with you, and then you will know that I am the Lord.

Yehezkiel 17:4

17:4 He plucked off its topmost shoot;

he brought it to a land of merchants

and planted it in a city of traders.

Yehezkiel 17:14

17:14 so it would be a lowly kingdom which could not rise on its own but must keep its treaty with him in order to stand.

Yehezkiel 18:27

18:27 When a wicked person turns from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he will preserve his life.

Yehezkiel 20:4

20:4 “Are you willing to pronounce judgment? ¹²  Are you willing to pronounce judgment, son of man? Then confront them with the abominable practices of their fathers,

Yehezkiel 23:21

23:21 This is how you assessed ¹³  the obscene conduct of your youth, when the Egyptians fondled ¹⁴  your nipples and squeezed ¹⁵  your young breasts.

Yehezkiel 23:38

23:38 Moreover, they have done this to me: In the very same day ¹⁶  they desecrated my sanctuary and profaned my Sabbaths.

Yehezkiel 24:8

24:8 To arouse anger, to take vengeance,

I have placed her blood on an exposed rock so that it cannot be covered up.

Yehezkiel 28:6

28:6 “‘Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says:

Because you think you are godlike, ¹⁷ 

Yehezkiel 30:10

30:10 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says:

I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt,

by the hand of King Nebuchadrezzar ¹⁸  of Babylon.

Yehezkiel 30:14-15

30:14 I will desolate Pathros,

I will ignite a fire in Zoan,

and I will execute judgments on Thebes.

30:15 I will pour out my anger upon Pelusium, ¹⁹ 

the stronghold of Egypt;

I will cut off ²⁰  the hordes of Thebes.

Yehezkiel 30:26

30:26 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among foreign countries. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

Yehezkiel 33:26

33:26 You rely ²¹  on your swords and commit abominable deeds; each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. Will you possess the land?’

Yehezkiel 34:3

34:3 You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the choice animals, but you do not feed the sheep!

Yehezkiel 34:11

34:11 “‘For this is what the sovereign Lord says: Look, I myself will search for my sheep and seek them out.

Yehezkiel 35:7-8

35:7 I will turn Mount Seir into a desolate ruin; ²²  I will cut off ²³  from it the one who passes through or returns. 35:8 I will fill its mountains with its dead; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines, those killed by the sword will fall.

Yehezkiel 36:27

36:27 I will put my Spirit within you; ²⁴  I will take the initiative and you will obey my statutes ²⁵  and carefully observe my regulations. ²⁶ 

Yehezkiel 37:13

37:13 Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and raise you from your graves, my people.

Yehezkiel 37:28

37:28 Then, when my sanctuary is among them forever, the nations will know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel.’” ²⁷ 

Yehezkiel 39:12

39:12 For seven months Israel ²⁸  will bury them, in order to cleanse the land.

Yehezkiel 40:9

40:9 He measured the porch of the gate as 14 feet, ²⁹  and its jambs as 3½ feet; ³⁰  the porch of the gate faced inward.

Yehezkiel 40:11

40:11 He measured the width of the entrance of the gateway as 17½ feet, ³¹  and the length of the gateway as 22¾ feet. ³² 

Yehezkiel 40:14

40:14 He measured ³³  the porch ³⁴  at 105 feet ³⁵  high; ³⁶  the gateway went all around to the jamb of the courtyard.

Yehezkiel 40:28

40:28 Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate. He measured the south gate; it had the same dimensions as the others.

Yehezkiel 40:32

40:32 Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side. He measured the gate; it had the same dimensions as the others.

Yehezkiel 41:13

41:13 Then he measured the temple as 175 feet ³⁷  long, the courtyard of the temple and the building and its walls as 175 feet ³⁸  long,

Yehezkiel 42:18

42:18 He measured the south side as 875 feet by the measuring stick.

Yehezkiel 43:9

43:9 Now they must put away their spiritual prostitution and the pillars of their kings far from me, and then I will live among them forever.

Yehezkiel 43:21

43:21 You will also take the bull for the sin offering, and it will be burned in the appointed place in the temple, outside the sanctuary.

Yehezkiel 43:26

43:26 For seven days they will make atonement for the altar and cleanse it, so they will consecrate it. ³⁹ 

Yehezkiel 44:16

44:16 They will enter my sanctuary, and approach my table to minister to me; they will keep my charge.

Yehezkiel 44:20

44:20 “‘They must not shave their heads ⁴⁰  nor let their hair grow long; ⁴¹  they must only trim their heads.

Yehezkiel 45:20

45:20 This is what you must do on the seventh day of the month for anyone who sins inadvertently or through ignorance; so you will make atonement for the temple.

Yehezkiel 46:15

46:15 Thus they will provide the lamb, the grain offering, and the olive oil morning by morning, as a perpetual burnt offering.

[3:8]  ¹ tn Heb “strong, resolute.”

[7:22]  ² sn My treasured place probably refers to the temple (however, cf. NLT “my treasured land”).

[7:22]  ³ sn Since the pronouns “it” are both feminine, they do not refer to the masculine “my treasured place”; instead they probably refer to Jerusalem or the land, both of which are feminine in Hebrew.

[7:24]  ⁴ sn Or “their holy places” (KJV, ASV, NASB, NCV, NRSV).

[10:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “right side.”

[11:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “lifted.”

[11:25]  ⁷ tn Heb “all the words of.”

[15:8]  ⁸ tn The word translated “make” is the same Hebrew word translated as “provide” in v. 6.

[16:26]  ⁹ tn Heb “your neighbors, large of flesh.” The word “flesh” is used here of the genitals. It may simply refer to the size of their genitals in general, or, as the translation suggests, depicts them as sexually aroused.

[16:29]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Chaldea.” The name of the tribal group ruling Babylon (“Chaldeans”) and the territory from which they originated (“Chaldea”) is used as metonymy for the whole empire of Babylon.

[16:60]  ¹¹ tn Or “eternal.”

[20:4]  ¹² tn Heb “will you judge.” Here the imperfect form of the verb is probably used with a desiderative nuance. Addressed to the prophet, “judge” means to warn of or pronounce God’s impending judgment.

[23:21]  ¹³ tn Or “you took note of.” The Hebrew verb פָּקַד (paqad) in the Qal implies evaluating something and then acting in light of that judgment; here the prophet depicts Judah as approving of her youthful unfaithfulness and then magnifying it at the present time. Some translations assume the verb should be repointed as a Niphal, rendering “you missed” or by extension “you longed for,” but such an extension of the Niphal “to be missing” is otherwise unattested.

[23:21]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “when (they) did,” but the verb makes no sense here and is better emended to “when (they) fondled,” a verb used in vv. 3 and 8. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:43.

[23:21]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “for the sake of,” but the expression is awkward and is better emended to read “to squeeze.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:43.

[23:38]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “in that day.”

[28:6]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “because of your making your heart like the heart of gods.”

[30:10]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “Nebuchadrezzar” is a variant and more correct spelling of Nebuchadnezzar, as the Babylonian name Nabu-kudurri-usur has an “r” rather than an “n.”

[30:15]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “Sin” (so KJV, NASB), a city commonly identified with Pelusium, a fortress on Egypt’s northeastern frontier.

[30:15]  ²⁰ tn Or “kill.”

[33:26]  ²¹ tn Heb “stand.”

[35:7]  ²² tc The translation reads with some manuscripts לְשִׁמְמָה וּמְשַׁמָּה (lÿshimmah umÿshammah, “desolate ruin”) as in verse 3 and often in Ezekiel. The majority reading reverses the first mem (מ) with the shin (שׁ) resulting in the repetition of the word desolate: לְשִׁמְמָה וּשְׁמָמָה (lÿshimmah ushÿmamah).

[35:7]  ²³ tn Or “kill.”

[36:27]  ²⁴ tn Or “in the midst of you.” The word “you” is plural.

[36:27]  ²⁵ tn Heb “and I will do that which in my statutes you will walk.” The awkward syntax (verb “to do, act” + accusative sign + relative clause + prepositional phrase + second person verb) is unique, though Eccl 3:14 contains a similar construction. In the last line of that verse we read that “God acts so that (relative pronoun) they fear before him.” However, unlike Ezek 36:27, the statement has no accusative sign before the relative pronoun.

[36:27]  ²⁶ tn Heb “and my laws you will guard and you will do them.” Jer 31:31-34 is parallel to this passage.

[37:28]  ²⁷ sn The sanctuary of Israel becomes the main focus of Ezek 40-48.

[39:12]  ²⁸ tn Heb “the house of Israel.”

[40:9]  ²⁹ tn Heb “eight cubits” (i.e., 4.2 meters).

[40:9]  ³⁰ tn Heb “two cubits” (i.e., 1.05 meters).

[40:11]  ³¹ tn Heb “ten cubits” (i.e., 5.25 meters).

[40:11]  ³² tn Heb “thirteen cubits” (i.e., 6.825 meters).

[40:14]  ³³ tn Heb “made.”

[40:14]  ³⁴ tc The MT reads “jambs” which does not make sense in context. Supposing a confusion of yod for vav, the text may be emended to read “porch.” See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:518.

[40:14]  ³⁵ tn Heb “sixty cubits” (i.e., 31.5 meters).

[40:14]  ³⁶ tn The word “high” is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied for sense.

[41:13]  ³⁷ tn Heb “one hundred cubits” (i.e., 52.5 meters).

[41:13]  ³⁸ tn Heb “one hundred cubits” (i.e., 52.5 meters).

[43:26]  ³⁹ tn Heb “fill its hands.”

[44:20]  ⁴⁰ sn The shaving of the head was associated with mourning (Ezek 7:18).

[44:20]  ⁴¹ sn Letting the hair grow was associated with the taking of a vow (Num 6:5; Acts 21:23-26).
