Yehezkiel 26:17

26:17 They will sing this lament over you: ¹ 

“‘How you have perished – you have vanished ²  from the seas,

O renowned city, once mighty in the sea,

she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror! ³ 

Yehezkiel 38:8

38:8 After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come to a land restored from the ravages of war, ⁴  with many peoples gathered on the mountains of Israel that had long been in ruins. Its people ⁵  were brought out from the peoples, and all of them will be living securely.

Yehezkiel 38:16

38:16 You will advance ⁶  against my people Israel like a cloud covering the earth. In the latter days I will bring you against my land so that the nations may acknowledge me, when before their eyes I magnify myself ⁷  through you, O Gog.

[26:17]  ¹ tn Heb “and they will lift up over you a lament and they will say to you.”

[26:17]  ² 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.

[26:17]  ³ 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).”

[38:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “from the sword.”

[38:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “it.”

[38:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “come up.”

[38:16]  ⁷ tn Or “reveal my holiness.”
