45:5 An area eight and a quarter miles ⁹  in length and three and one-third miles ¹⁰  in width will be for the Levites, who minister at the temple, as the place for the cities ¹¹  in which they will live.

[13:11]  ¹ tn Heb “and you, O hailstones.”

[13:11]  ² sn A violent wind will break out. God’s judgments are frequently described in storm imagery (Pss 18:7-15; 77:17-18; 83:15; Isa 28:17; 30:30; Jer 23:19; 30:23).

[25:15]  ³ sn The Philistines inhabited the coastal plain by the Mediterranean Sea, west of Judah.

[25:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “have acted with vengeance and taken vengeance with vengeance.” The repetition emphasizes the degree of vengeance which they exhibited, presumably toward Judah.

[25:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “with scorn in (the) soul.”

[25:15]  ⁶ tn The object is not specified in the Hebrew text, but has been clarified as “Judah” in the translation.

[25:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “to destroy (with) perpetual hostility.” Joel 3:4-8 also speaks of the Philistines taking advantage of the fall of Judah.

[29:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “for which he worked,” referring to the assault on Tyre (v. 18).

[45:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).

[45:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).

[45:5]  ¹¹ tc The translation follows the LXX here. The MT reads “twenty.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:246.
