Yehezkiel 3:20

3:20 “When a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I set an obstacle ¹  before him, he will die. If you have not warned him, he will die for his sin. The righteous deeds he performed will not be considered, but I will hold you accountable for his death.

Yehezkiel 7:19

7:19 They will discard their silver in the streets, and their gold will be treated like filth. ²  Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the Lord’s fury. ³  They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs because their wealth ⁴  was the obstacle leading to their iniquity. ⁵

13:9 My hand will be against the prophets who see delusion and announce lying omens. They will not be included in the council ⁷  of my people, nor be written in the registry ⁸  of the house of Israel, nor enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the sovereign Lord.

Yehezkiel 14:21

Yehezkiel 17:7

Now this vine twisted its roots toward him

and sent its branches toward him

20:27 “Therefore, speak to the house of Israel, son of man, and tell them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: In this way too your fathers blasphemed me when they were unfaithful to me.

Yehezkiel 23:24

23:24 They will attack ¹²  you with weapons, ¹³  chariots, wagons, and with a huge army; ¹⁴  they will array themselves against you on every side with large shields, small shields, and helmets. I will assign them the task of judgment; ¹⁵  they will punish you according to their laws.

Yehezkiel 33:13

33:13 Suppose I tell the righteous that he will certainly live, but he becomes confident in his righteousness and commits iniquity. None of his righteous deeds will be remembered; because of the iniquity he has committed he will die.

Yehezkiel 34:18

34:18 Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture, that you must trample the rest of your pastures with your feet? When you drink clean water, must you muddy the rest of the water by trampling it with your feet?

Yehezkiel 36:4

36:4 therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the sovereign Lord: This is what the sovereign Lord says to the mountains and hills, the ravines and valleys, and to the desolate ruins and the abandoned cities that have become prey and an object of derision to the rest of the nations round about –

Yehezkiel 36:36

36:36 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!’

[3:20]  ¹ tn Or “stumbling block.” The Hebrew term refers to an obstacle in the road in Lev 19:14.

[7:19]  ² tn The Hebrew term can refer to menstrual impurity. The term also occurs at the end of v. 20.

[7:19]  ³ sn Compare Zeph 1:18.

[7:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “it.” Apparently the subject is the silver and gold mentioned earlier (see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 1:102).

[7:19]  ⁵ tn The “stumbling block of their iniquity” is a unique phrase of the prophet Ezekiel (Ezek 14:3, 4, 7; 18:30; 44:12).

[9:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “house.”

[13:9]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew term may refer to the secret council of the Lord (Jer 23:18; Job 15:8), but here it more likely refers to a human council comprised of civic leaders (Gen 49:6; Jer 6:11; 15:17 Ps 64:3; 111:1).

[13:9]  ⁸ tn The reference here is probably to a civil list (as in Ezra 2:16; Neh 7:64) rather than to a “book of life” (Exod 32:32; Isa 4:3; Ps 69:29; Dan 12:1). This registry may have been established at the making of David’s census (2 Sam 24:2, 9).

[16:37]  ¹⁰ sn Harlots suffered degradation when their nakedness was exposed (Jer 13:22, 26; Hos 2:12; Nah 3:5).

[17:7]  ¹¹ sn The phrase another great eagle refers to Pharaoh Hophra.

[23:24]  ¹² tn Heb “come against.”

[23:24]  ¹³ tn This is the only occurrence of this term in the OT. The precise meaning is uncertain.

[23:24]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “an assembly of peoples.”

[23:24]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “I will place before them judgment.”

[24:6]  ¹⁶ tn Or “rust.”

[24:6]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “has not gone out.”

[24:6]  ¹⁸ tn Here “lot” may refer to the decision made by casting lots; it is not chosen at all.

[25:9]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “shoulder.”

[25:9]  ²⁰ tn Heb “from the cities.” The verb “eliminating” has been added in the translation to reflect the privative use of the preposition (see BDB 583 s.v. מִן 7.b).

[25:9]  ²¹ tn Heb “from its cities, from its end.”

[38:17]  ²² tn Heb “by the hand of my servants.”

[38:17]  ²³ tn The Hebrew text adds “years” here, but this is probably a scribal gloss on the preceding phrase. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:201.

[39:9]  ²⁴ tn Heb “burn and kindle the weapons.”

[39:9]  ²⁵ tn Two different types of shields are specified in the Hebrew text.

[40:4]  ²⁶ tn Heb “look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and set your mind on.”

[40:4]  ²⁷ tn Heb “in order to show (it) to you.”

[40:48]  ²⁸ tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

[40:48]  ²⁹ tn The LXX reads “fourteen cubits” (i.e., 7.35 meters). See following note.

[40:48]  ³⁰ tc The translation follows the LXX. The MT reads “the width of the gate was three cubits,” the omission due to haplography.

[40:48]  tn Or “sidewalls.”

[40:48]  ³¹ tn Heb “three cubits” (i.e., 1.575 meters).

[44:24]  ³² sn For a historical illustration of the priest carrying out this function, see 2 Chr 19:9-11.

[44:24]  ³³ tn Heb “sanctify, set apart.”

[45:1]  ³⁴ tn Heb “a contribution.”

[45:1]  ³⁵ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers). The measuring units here are the Hebrew “long” cubit, consisting of a cubit (about 18 inches or 45 cm) and a handbreadth (about 3 inches or 7.5 cm), for a total of 21 inches (52.5 cm). Because modern readers are not familiar with the cubit as a unit of measurement, and due to the additional complication of the “long” cubit as opposed to the regular cubit, all measurements have been converted to American standard miles (one mile = 5,280 feet), with the Hebrew measurements and the metric equivalents given in the notes.

[45:1]  ³⁶ tc The LXX reads “twenty thousand cubits.”

[45:1]  tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).

[45:1]  ³⁷ tn Heb “holy it is in all its territory round about.”

[47:1]  ³⁸ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.
