Yehezkiel 12:27

Yehezkiel 16:18

Yehezkiel 22:29

fill it with choice bones.

Yehezkiel 27:12

27:12 “‘Tarshish ¹⁰  was your trade partner because of your abundant wealth; they exchanged silver, iron, tin, and lead for your products.

Yehezkiel 27:15

27:15 The Dedanites ¹¹  were your clients. Many coastlands were your customers; they paid ¹²  you with ivory tusks and ebony.

Yehezkiel 27:26

27:26 Your rowers have brought you into surging waters.

The east wind has wrecked you in the heart of the seas.

Yehezkiel 27:34

27:34 Now you are wrecked by the seas, in the depths of the waters;

your merchandise and all your company have sunk ¹³  along with you. ¹⁴ 

Yehezkiel 27:36

27:36 The traders among the peoples hiss at you;

you have become a horror, and will be no more.’”

Yehezkiel 28:7

[1:15]  ¹ tc The MT adds “at the living beings” which is absent from the LXX.

[1:15]  ² sn Another vision which includes wheels on thrones occurs in Dan 7:9. Ezek 10 contains a vision similar to this one.

[1:15]  ³ tn The Hebrew word may be translated either “earth” or “ground” in this context.

[19:10]  ⁴ tc The Hebrew text reads “in your blood,” but most emend to “in your vineyard,” assuming a ב-כ (beth-kaph) confusion. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 1:284. Another attractive emendation assumes a faulty word division and yields the reading “like a vine full of tendrils, which/because…”; see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:607, n. 68.

[22:29]  ⁵ tn Heb “and the foreigner they have oppressed without justice.”

[23:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “lusted after.”

[23:28]  ⁷ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

[23:28]  ⁸ tn Heb “I am giving you into the hand of.”

[24:1]  ⁹ tn The date of this oracle was January 15, 588 b.c.

[27:12]  ¹⁰ sn Tarshish refers to a distant seaport sometimes believed to be located in southern Spain (others identified it as Carthage in North Africa). In any event it represents here a distant, rich, and exotic port which was a trading partner of Tyre.

[27:15]  ¹¹ tn Heb “sons of Dedan.”

[27:15]  ¹² tn Heb “they returned as your gift.”

[27:34]  ¹³ tn Heb “fallen.”

[27:34]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “in the midst of you.”

[28:7]  ¹⁵ sn This is probably a reference to the Babylonians.

[28:7]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “they will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom.”

[30:15]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “Sin” (so KJV, NASB), a city commonly identified with Pelusium, a fortress on Egypt’s northeastern frontier.

[30:15]  ¹⁸ tn Or “kill.”

[30:17]  ¹⁹ sn On and Pi-beseth are generally identified with the Egyptian cities of Heliopolis and Bubastis.

[30:17]  ²⁰ tn Heb “they will go.” The pronoun and verb are feminine plural, indicating that the cities just mentioned are the antecedent of the pronoun and the subject of the verb. The translation makes this clear by stating the subject as “the cities.”

[31:6]  ²¹ tn Or “many.”

[31:13]  ²² tn Heb “the beasts of the field,” referring to wild as opposed to domesticated animals.

[31:13]  ²³ tn Heb “be.”

[32:6]  ²⁴ tn Heb “from you.”

[34:21]  ²⁵ tn Heb “outside.”

[38:2]  ²⁶ tn Heb “set your face against.”

[38:2]  ²⁷ sn This may refer to a Lydian king in western Asia Minor in the seventh century b.c. Apart from Ezek 38-39, the only other biblical reference to this king/nation is in Rev 20:8. For a study of the names appearing in this verse, see E. Yamauchi, Foes From the Northern Frontier, 19-27.

[38:2]  ²⁸ sn One of the sons of Japheth according to Gen 10:2; 1 Chr 1:5.

[38:2]  ²⁹ tn Heb “the prince, the chief of Meshech and Tubal.” Some translate “the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal,” but it is more likely that the Hebrew noun in question is a common noun in apposition to “prince,” rather than a proper name. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:434-35. As Block demonstrates, attempts by some popular writers to identify these proper names with later geographical sites in Russia are anachronistic. See as well E. Yamauchi, Foes From the Northern Frontier, 19-27.

[38:2]  sn Meshech and Tubal were two nations in Cappadocia of Asia Minor. They were also sons of Japheth (Gen 10:2; 1 Chr 1:5).

[38:18]  ³⁰ tn Heb “goes up against.”

[40:12]  ³¹ tn Heb “one cubit” (i.e., 52.5 cm).

[40:12]  ³² tn Heb “six cubits” (i.e., 3.15 meters).

[40:43]  ³³ tc This reading is supported by the Aramaic Targum. The LXX, Vulgate, and Syriac read “shelves” or some type of projection.

[40:43]  ³⁴ tn Heb “one handbreadth” (7.5 cm).

[41:13]  ³⁵ tn Heb “one hundred cubits” (i.e., 52.5 meters).

[41:13]  ³⁶ tn Heb “one hundred cubits” (i.e., 52.5 meters).

[48:9]  ³⁸ tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).
