[8:5]  ¹ tn Heb “lift your eyes (to) the way of.”

[17:21]  ² tc Some manuscripts and versions read “choice men,” while most manuscripts read “fugitives”; the difference arises from the reversal, or metathesis, of two letters, מִבְרָחָיו (mivrakhyv) for מִבְחָריו (mivkharyv).

[17:21]  ³ tn Heb “fall.”

[19:11]  ⁴ tn The word “fit” does not occur in the Hebrew text.

[19:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “and it was seen by its height and by the abundance of its branches.”

[20:6]  ⁶ tn Heb “I lifted up my hand to them.”

[20:6]  ⁷ tn Or “searched out.” The Hebrew word is used to describe the activity of the spies in “spying out” the land of Canaan (Num 13-14); cf. KJV “I had espied for them.”

[20:6]  ⁸ sn The phrase “a land flowing with milk and honey,” a figure of speech describing the land’s abundant fertility, occurs in v. 15 as well as Exod 3:8, 17; 13:5; 33:3; Lev 20:24; Num 13:27; Deut 6:3; 11:9; 26:9; 27:3; Josh 5:6; Jer 11:5; 32:23 (see also Deut 1:25; 8:7-9).

[21:4]  ⁹ tn Heb “all flesh” (also in the following verse).

[21:4]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Negev.” The Negev is the south country.

[24:16]  ¹¹ tn Heb “a strike.”

[31:5]  ¹² tn Heb “when it sends forth.” Repointing the consonants of the Masoretic text would render the proposed reading “shoots” (cf. NRSV).

[32:18]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew verb is used as a response to death (Jer 9:17-19; Amos 5:16).

[32:18]  ¹⁴ sn Through this prophetic lament given by God himself, the prophet activates the judgment described therein. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:217, and L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:136-37.

[32:18]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “Bring him down, her and the daughters of the powerful nations, to the earth below.” The verb “bring down” appears in the Hebrew text only once. Because the verb takes several objects here, the repetition of the verb in the translation improves the English style.

[32:18]  ¹⁶ tn This apparently refers to personified Egypt.

[39:2]  ¹⁷ tn The Hebrew root occurs only here in the OT. An apparent cognate in the Ethiopic language means “walk along.” For a discussion of the research on this verb, see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:460.

[42:7]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “fifty cubits” (i.e., 26.25 meters).

[45:3]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).

[45:3]  ²⁰ tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).

[48:14]  ²¹ tn Or “holy.”
