Yehezkiel 1:24

1:24 When they moved, I heard the sound of their wings – it was like the sound of rushing waters, or the voice of the Almighty, ¹  or the tumult ²  of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.

Yehezkiel 23:32

23:32 “This is what the sovereign Lord says: “You will drink your sister’s deep and wide cup; ³  you will be scorned and derided, for it holds a great deal.

Yehezkiel 41:2

41:2 The width of the entrance was 17½ feet, ⁴  and the sides ⁵  of the entrance were 8¾ feet ⁶  on each side. He measured the length of the outer sanctuary as 70 feet, ⁷  and its width as 35 feet. ⁸ 

[1:24]  ¹ tn Heb “Shaddai” (probably meaning “one of the mountain”), a title that depicts God as the sovereign ruler of the world who dispenses justice. The Old Greek translation omitted the phrase “voice of the Almighty.”

[1:24]  ² tn The only other occurrence of the Hebrew word translated “tumult” is in Jer 11:16. It indicates a noise like that of the turmoil of a military camp or the sound of an army on the march.

[23:32]  ³ sn The image of a deep and wide cup suggests the degree of punishment; it will be extensive and leave the victim helpless.

[41:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “ten cubits” (i.e., 5.25 meters).

[41:2]  ⁵ tc The translation follows the LXX. The MT reads “the width of the gate was three cubits,” the omission due to haplography.

[41:2]  tn Or “sidewalls.”

[41:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

[41:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “forty cubits” (i.e., 21 meters).

[41:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “twenty cubits” (i.e., 10.5 meters).
