Yehezkiel 16:20

16:20 “‘You took your sons and your daughters whom you bore to me and you sacrificed them ⁶  as food for the idols to eat. As if your prostitution not enough,

Yehezkiel 16:31

16:31 When you built your chamber at the head of every street and put up your pavilion in every public square, you were not like a prostitute, because you scoffed at payment. ⁷ 

Yehezkiel 16:49

16:49 “‘See here – this was the iniquity ⁸  of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters had majesty, abundance of food, and enjoyed carefree ease, but they did not help ⁹  the poor and needy.

Yehezkiel 18:14

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.

[13:6]  ¹ sn The same description of a false prophet is found in Micah 2:11.

[13:6]  ² sn The Lord has not sent them. A similar concept is found in Jer 14:14; 23:21.

[13:6]  ³ tn Or “confirmed”; NIV “to be fulfilled”; TEV “to come true.”

[16:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “in water you were not washed for cleansing” or “with water you were not washed smooth” (see D. I. Block, Ezekiel [NICOT], 1:473, n. 57, for a discussion of possible meanings of this hapax legomenon).

[16:4]  ⁵ sn Arab midwives still cut the umbilical cords of infants and then proceed to apply salt and oil to their bodies.

[16:20]  ⁶ sn The sacrifice of children was prohibited in Lev 18:21; 20:2; Deut 12:31; 18:10.

[16:31]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew term, which also occurs in vv. 34 and 41 of this chapter, always refers to the payment of a prostitute (Deut 23:19; Isa 23:17; Hos 9:1; Mic 1:7).

[16:49]  ⁸ tn Or “guilt.”

[16:49]  ⁹ tn Heb “strengthen the hand of.”

[18:14]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and he sees and does not do likewise.”

[21:27]  ¹¹ tn Heb “A ruin, a ruin, a ruin I will make it.” The threefold repetition of the noun “ruin” is for emphasis and draws attention to the degree of ruin that would take place. See IBHS 233 §12.5a and GKC 431-32 §133.k. The pronominal suffix (translated “it”) on the verb “make” is feminine in Hebrew. The probable antecedent is the “turban/crown” (both nouns are feminine in form) mentioned in verse 26. The point is that the king’s royal splendor would be completely devastated as judgment overtook his realm and brought his reign to a violent end.

[21:27]  ¹² tn Heb “Also this, he was not, until the coming of the one to whom the judgment belongs and I have given it.” The Hebrew text, as it stands, is grammatically difficult. The pronoun “this” is feminine, while the following negated verb (“was not”) is masculine. Some emend the verb to a feminine form (see BHS). In this case the statement refers to the destiny of the king’s turban/crown (symbolizing his reign). See the previous note. The preposition translated “when” normally means “until,” but here it seems to refer to the period during which the preceding situation is realized, rather than its termination point. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:19, 21. The second part of the statement, though awkward, probably refers to the arrival of the Babylonian king, to whom the Lord had assigned the task of judgment (see 23:24). Or the verse may read “A total ruin I will make, even this. It will not be until the one comes to whom is (the task of) judgment and I have assigned it.”

[22:14]  ¹³ tn Heb “stand.” The heart here stands for the emotions; Jerusalem would panic in the face of God’s judgment.

[22:14]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “in the days when I act against you.”

[29:14]  ¹⁵ tc Thus the Masoretic Text. The LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate translate as though the Hebrew read “cause to inhabit.”

[29:21]  ¹⁶ 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.

[29:21]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “I will grant you an open mouth.”

[33:9]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “from his way to turn from it.”

[33:9]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and he does not turn from his way.”

[35:10]  ²⁰ sn The reference is to Israel and Judah.

[35:10]  ²¹ tn Heb “it.”

[39:13]  ²² tn Heb “name.”

[39:25]  ²³ tn Heb “cause to return.”

[43:18]  ²⁴ sn For the “sprinkling of blood,” see Lev 1:5, 11; 8:19; 9:12.

[44:25]  ²⁵ sn This law was part of the legal code for priests (Lev 21:1-3).

[47:14]  ²⁶ sn Gen 15:9-21.

[47:14]  ²⁷ tn Heb “will fall to you as an inheritance.”
