[6:13]  ¹ sn By referring to every high hill…all the mountaintops…under every green tree and every leafy oak Ezekiel may be expanding on the phraseology of Deut 12:2 (see 1 Kgs 14:23; 2 Kgs 16:4; 17:10; Jer 2:20; 3:6, 13; 2 Chr 28:4).

[7:4]  ² 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.

[7:4]  ³ tn The pronoun “you” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied.

[7:4]  ⁴ tn “I will set your behavior on your head.”

[7:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “and your abominable practices will be among you.”

[7:9]  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.

[7:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “According to your behavior I will place on you.”

[7:9]  ⁸ tn The MT lacks “you.” It has been added for clarification.

[13:9]  ⁹ 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]  ¹⁰ 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).

[13:14]  ¹¹ tn Or “within it,” referring to the city of Jerusalem.

[13:21]  ¹² tn Heb “from your hand(s).” This refers to their power over the people.

[13:23]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew verb is feminine plural, indicating that it is the false prophetesses who are addressed here.

[14:8]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “proverbs.”

[15:7]  ¹⁵ tn The word translated “set” is the same Hebrew word translated as “provide” in the previous verse.

[15:7]  ¹⁶ sn This escape refers to the exile of Ezekiel and others in 597 b.c. (Ezek 1:2; 2 Kgs 24:10-16).

[20:38]  ¹⁷ tn See the note at 2:3.

[20:42]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “I lifted up my hand.”
