Yehezkiel 30:21

30:21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm ⁵  of Pharaoh king of Egypt. ⁶  Look, it has not been bandaged for healing or set with a dressing so that it might become strong enough to grasp a sword.

[23:42]  ¹ tn Heb “(was) in her.”

[23:42]  ² tn Heb “and men from the multitude of mankind.”

[23:42]  ³ tn An alternate reading is “drunkards.” Sheba is located in the area of modern day Yemen.

[23:42]  ⁴ tn Heb “they”; the referents (the sisters) have been specified in the translation for the sake of clarity.

[30:21]  ⁵ sn The expression “breaking the arm” indicates the removal of power (Ps 10:15; 37:17; Job 38:15; Jer 48:25).

[30:21]  ⁶ sn This may refer to the event recorded in Jer 37:5.
