“‘What a lioness was your mother among the lions!

She lay among young lions; ²  she reared her cubs.

40:14 He measured ⁸  the porch ⁹  at 105 feet ¹⁰  high; ¹¹  the gateway went all around to the jamb of the courtyard.

[7:14]  ¹ tn The Hebrew word refers to the din or noise made by a crowd, and by extension may refer to the crowd itself.

[19:2]  ² sn Lions probably refer to Judahite royalty and/or nobility. The lioness appears to symbolize the Davidic dynasty, though some see the referent as Hamutal, the wife of Josiah and mother of Jehoahaz and Zedekiah. Gen 49:9 seems to be the background for Judah being compared to lions.

[28:7]  ³ sn This is probably a reference to the Babylonians.

[28:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “they will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom.”

[28:10]  ⁵ sn The Phoenicians practiced circumcision, so the language here must be figurative, indicating that they would be treated in a disgraceful manner. Uncircumcised peoples were viewed as inferior, unclean, and perhaps even sub-human. See 31:18 and 32:17-32, as well as the discussion in D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:99.

[35:7]  ⁶ tc The translation reads with some manuscripts לְשִׁמְמָה וּמְשַׁמָּה (lÿshimmah umÿshammah, “desolate ruin”) as in verse 3 and often in Ezekiel. The majority reading reverses the first mem (מ) with the shin (שׁ) resulting in the repetition of the word desolate: לְשִׁמְמָה וּשְׁמָמָה (lÿshimmah ushÿmamah).

[35:7]  ⁷ tn Or “kill.”

[40:14]  ⁸ tn Heb “made.”

[40:14]  ⁹ tc The MT reads “jambs” which does not make sense in context. Supposing a confusion of yod for vav, the text may be emended to read “porch.” See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:518.

[40:14]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “sixty cubits” (i.e., 31.5 meters).

[40:14]  ¹¹ tn The word “high” is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied for sense.

[40:38]  ¹² tc The MT reads “jambs of the gates” which does not make sense in a context discussing one chamber. The emendation to “porch” is similar to v. 14. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:530.
