Yehezkiel 8:10

8:10 So I went in and looked. I noticed every figure ²  of creeping thing and beast – detestable images ³  – and every idol of the house of Israel, engraved on the wall all around. ⁴ 

Yehezkiel 9:5

9:5 While I listened, he said to the others, ⁵  “Go through the city after him and strike people down; do no let your eye pity nor spare ⁶  anyone!

Yehezkiel 11:12

11:12 Then you will know that I am the Lord, whose statutes you have not followed and whose regulations you have not carried out. Instead you have behaved according to the regulations of the nations around you!’”

Yehezkiel 13:14

13:14 I will break down the wall you coated with whitewash and knock it to the ground so that its foundation is exposed. When it falls you will be destroyed beneath it, ⁷  and you will know that I am the Lord.

Yehezkiel 18:18

18:18 As for his father, because he practices extortion, robs his brother, and does what is not good among his people, he will die for his iniquity.

Yehezkiel 19:11

19:11 Its boughs were strong, fit ⁸  for rulers’ scepters; it reached up into the clouds.

It stood out because of its height and its many branches. ⁹ 

Yehezkiel 22:3

22:3 Then say, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: O city, who spills blood within herself (which brings on her doom), ¹⁰  and who makes herself idols (which results in impurity),

Yehezkiel 23:8

23:8 She did not abandon the prostitution she had practiced in Egypt; for in her youth men had sex with her, fondled her virgin breasts, and ravished her. ¹¹ 

Yehezkiel 23:42

23:42 The sound of a carefree crowd accompanied her, ¹²  including all kinds of men; ¹³  even Sabeans ¹⁴  were brought from the desert. The sisters ¹⁵  put bracelets on their wrists and beautiful crowns on their heads.

Yehezkiel 26:15

26:15 “This is what the sovereign Lord says to Tyre: Oh, how the coastlands will shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, at the massive slaughter in your midst!

Yehezkiel 29:10

29:10 I am against ¹⁶  you and your waterways. I will turn the land of Egypt into an utter desolate ruin from Migdol ¹⁷  to Syene, ¹⁸  as far as the border with Ethiopia.

Yehezkiel 29:21

29:21 On that day I will make Israel powerful, ¹⁹  and I will give you the right to be heard ²⁰  among them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

Yehezkiel 32:13

32:13 I will destroy all its cattle beside the plentiful waters;

and no human foot will disturb ²¹  the waters ²²  again,

nor will the hooves of cattle disturb them.

Yehezkiel 34:24

34:24 I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David will be prince ²³  among them; I, the Lord, have spoken!

Yehezkiel 34:26

34:26 I will turn them and the regions around my hill into a blessing. I will make showers come down in their season; they will be showers that bring blessing. ²⁴ 

Yehezkiel 35:8

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 35:10

35:10 “‘You said, “These two nations, these two lands ²⁵  will be mine, and we will possess them,” ²⁶  – although the Lord was there –

Yehezkiel 36:12

36:12 I will lead people, my people Israel, across you; they will possess you and you will become their inheritance. No longer will you bereave them of their children.

Yehezkiel 38:11

38:11 You will say, “I will invade ²⁷  a land of unwalled towns; I will advance against ²⁸  those living quietly in security – all of them living without walls and barred gates –

Yehezkiel 39:21

39:21 “I will display my majesty ²⁹  among the nations. All the nations will witness the judgment I have executed, and the power I have exhibited ³⁰  among them.

Yehezkiel 39:27

39:27 When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will magnify myself among them in the sight of many nations.

Yehezkiel 40:6

40:6 Then he went to the gate facing east. He climbed its steps and measured the threshold of the gate as 10½ feet deep. ³¹ 

Yehezkiel 40:25

40:25 There were windows all around it and its porches, like the windows of the others; ³²  87½ feet ³³  long and 43¾ feet ³⁴  wide.

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 41:5

41:5 Then he measured the wall of the temple ³⁵  as 10½ feet, ³⁶  and the width of the side chambers as 7 feet, ³⁷  all around the temple.

Yehezkiel 45:2

45:2 Of this area a square 875 feet ³⁸  by 875 feet will be designated for the sanctuary, with 87½ feet ³⁹  set aside for its open space round about.

Yehezkiel 47:3

47:3 When the man went out toward the east with a measuring line in his hand, he measured 1,750 feet, ⁴⁰  and then he led me through water, which was ankle deep.

Yehezkiel 47:5

47:5 Again he measured 1,750 feet and it was a river I could not cross, for the water had risen; it was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be crossed.

[3:11]  ¹ tn Heb “to the sons of your people.”

[8:10]  ² tn Or “pattern.”

[8:10]  ³ tn Heb “detestable.” The word is often used to describe the figures of foreign gods.

[8:10]  ⁴ sn These engravings were prohibited in the Mosaic law (Deut 4:16-18).

[9:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “to these he said in my ears.”

[9:5]  ⁶ tn The meaning of the Hebrew term is primarily emotional: “to pity,” which in context implies an action, as in being moved by pity in order to spare them from the horror of their punishment.

[13:14]  ⁷ tn Or “within it,” referring to the city of Jerusalem.

[19:11]  ⁸ tn The word “fit” does not occur in the Hebrew text.

[19:11]  ⁹ tn Heb “and it was seen by its height and by the abundance of its branches.”

[22:3]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “her time”; this refers to the time of impending judgment (see the note on “doom” in v. 4).

[23:42]  ¹² tn Heb “(was) in her.”

[23:42]  ¹³ tn Heb “and men from the multitude of mankind.”

[23:42]  ¹⁴ tn An alternate reading is “drunkards.” Sheba is located in the area of modern day Yemen.

[23:42]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “they”; the referents (the sisters) have been specified in the translation for the sake of clarity.

[29:10]  ¹⁶ tn Or “I challenge you.” The phrase “I am against you” may be a formula for challenging someone to combat or a duel. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:201-2, and P. Humbert, “Die Herausforderungsformel ‘h!nn#n' ?l?K>,’” ZAW 45 (1933): 101-8.

[29:10]  ¹⁷ sn This may refer to a site in the Egyptian Delta which served as a refuge for Jews (Jer 44:1; 46:14).

[29:10]  ¹⁸ sn Syene is known today as Aswan.

[29:21]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel.” The horn is used as a figure for military power in the OT (Ps 92:10). A similar expression is made about the Davidic dynasty in Ps 132:17.

[32:13]  ²¹ tn Heb “muddy.”

[32:13]  ²² tn Heb “them,” that is, the waters mentioned in the previous line. The translation clarifies the referent.

[34:24]  ²³ sn The messianic king (“David”) is called both “king” and “prince” in 37:24-25. The use of the term “prince” for this king facilitates the contrast between this ideal ruler and the Davidic “princes” denounced in earlier prophecies (see 7:27; 12:10, 12; 19:1; 21:25; 22:6, 25).

[34:26]  ²⁴ tn Heb “showers of blessing.” Abundant rain, which in turn produces fruit and crops (v. 27), is a covenantal blessing for obedience (Lev 26:4).

[39:21]  ³⁰ tn Heb “my hand which I have placed.”

[47:3]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “one thousand cubits” (i.e., 525 meters); this phrase occurs three times in the next two verses.
