Yehezkiel 6:9

6:9 Then your survivors will remember me among the nations where they are exiled. They will realize ¹  how I was crushed by their unfaithful ²  heart which turned from me and by their eyes which lusted after their idols. They will loathe themselves ³  because of the evil they have done and because of all their abominable practices.

Yehezkiel 31:14

31:14 For this reason no watered trees will grow so tall; their tops will not reach into the clouds, nor will the well-watered ones grow that high. ⁴  For all of them have been appointed to die in the lower parts of the earth; ⁵  they will be among mere mortals, ⁶  with those who descend to the pit.

Yehezkiel 39:11

39:11 “‘On that day I will assign Gog a grave in Israel. It will be the valley of those who travel east of the sea; it will block the way of the travelers. There they will bury Gog and all his horde; they will call it the valley of Hamon-Gog. ⁷ 

Yehezkiel 40:7

40:7 The alcoves were 10½ feet long and 10½ feet wide; between the alcoves were 8¾ feet. ⁸  The threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate facing inward was 10½ feet.

Yehezkiel 43:7

43:7 He said to me: “Son of man, this is the place of my throne ⁹  and the place for the soles of my feet, ¹⁰  where I will live among the people of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no longer profane my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their spiritual prostitution or by the pillars of their kings set up when they die. ¹¹ 

Yehezkiel 44:7

44:7 When you bring foreigners, those uncircumcised in heart and in flesh, into my sanctuary, you desecrate ¹²  it – even my house – when you offer my food, the fat and the blood. You ¹³  have broken my covenant by all your abominable practices.

Yehezkiel 48:21

48:21 “The rest, on both sides of the holy allotment and the property of the city, will belong to the prince. Extending from the eight and a quarter miles ¹⁴  of the holy allotment to the east border, and westward from the eight and a quarter miles ¹⁵  to the west border, alongside the portions, it will belong to the prince. The holy allotment and the sanctuary of the temple will be in the middle of it.

[6:9]  ¹ tn The words “they will realize” are not in the Hebrew text; they are added here for stylistic reasons since this clause assumes the previous verb “to remember” or “to take into account.”

[6:9]  ² tn Heb “how I was broken by their adulterous heart.” The image of God being “broken” is startling, but perfectly natural within the metaphorical framework of God as offended husband. The idiom must refer to the intense grief that Israel’s unfaithfulness caused God. For a discussion of the syntax and semantics of the Hebrew text, see M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 1:134.

[6:9]  ³ tn Heb adds “in their faces.”

[31:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “and they will not stand to them in their height, all the drinkers of water.”

[31:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “for death, to the lower earth.”

[31:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “the sons of men.”

[39:11]  ⁷ tn The name means “horde of Gog.”

[40:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters) according to the “long” cubit. See the note on the first occurrence of the phrase “10½ feet” in v. 5.

[43:7]  ⁹ sn God’s throne is mentioned in Isa 6:1; Jer 3:17.

[43:7]  ¹⁰ sn See 1 Chr 28:2; Ps 99:5; 132:7; Isa 60:13; Lam 2:1.

[43:7]  ¹¹ tn Heb “by their corpses in their death.” But the term normally translated “corpses” is better understood here as a reference to funeral pillars or funerary offerings. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:583-85, and L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:257.

[44:7]  ¹² tn Heb “to desecrate.”

[44:7]  ¹³ tc The Greek, Syriac, and Latin versions read “you.” The Masoretic text reads “they.”

[48:21]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).

[48:21]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).
