Yehezkiel 20:9
Konteks20:9 I acted for the sake of my reputation, 1 so that I would not be profaned before the nations among whom they lived, 2 before whom I revealed myself by bringing them out of the land of Egypt. 3
Yehezkiel 20:14
Konteks20:14 I acted for the sake of my reputation, so that I would not be profaned before the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.
Yehezkiel 20:39
Konteks20:39 “‘As for you, O house of Israel, this is what the sovereign Lord says: Each of you go and serve your idols, 4 if you will not listen to me. 5 But my holy name will not be profaned 6 again by your sacrifices 7 and your idols.
Yehezkiel 36:20-21
Konteks36:20 But when they arrived in the nations where they went, they profaned my holy name. It was said of them, ‘These are the people of the Lord, yet they have departed from his land.’ 36:21 I was concerned for my holy reputation 8 which the house of Israel profaned among the nations where they went.
Yehezkiel 36:36
Konteks36:36 Then the nations which remain around you will know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruins and replanted what was desolate. I, the Lord, have spoken – and I will do it!’
[20:9] 1 tn Heb “for the sake of my name.”
[20:9] 2 tn Heb “before the eyes of the nations in whose midst they were.”
[20:9] 3 tn Heb “to whom I made myself known before their eyes to bring them out from the land of Egypt.” The translation understands the infinitive construct (“to bring them out”) as indicating manner. God’s deliverance of his people from Egypt was an act of self-revelation in that it displayed his power and his commitment to his promises.
[20:39] 4 sn Compare the irony here to Amos 4:4 and Jer 44:25.
[20:39] 5 tn Heb “and after, if you will not listen to me.” The translation leaves out “and after” for smoothness. The text is difficult. M. Greenberg (Ezekiel [AB], 1:374) suggests that it may mean “but afterwards, if you will not listen to me…” with an unspoken threat.
[20:39] 6 sn A similar concept may be found in Lev 18:21; 20:3.
