[15:8]  ¹ tn The word translated “make” is the same Hebrew word translated as “provide” in v. 6.

[16:14]  ² tn Heb “name.”

[16:14]  ³ sn The description of the nation Israel in vv. 10-14 recalls the splendor of the nation’s golden age under King Solomon.

[18:32]  ⁴ tn Heb “the death of the one dying.”

[23:33]  ⁵ tn Heb “filled with.”

[28:10]  ⁶ 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.

[32:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “sink,” that is, to settle and become clear, not muddied.

[34:31]  ⁸ tn Heb, “the sheep of my pasture, you are human.” See 36:37-38 for a similar expression. The possessive pronoun “my” is supplied in the translation to balance “I am your God” in the next clause.

[35:13]  ⁹ tn Heb “your mouth.”

[35:13]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and you multiplied against me your words.” The Hebrew verb occurs only here and in Prov 27:6, where it refers to the “excessive” kisses of an enemy. The basic idea of the verb appears to be “to be abundant.” Here it occurs in the causative (Hiphil) stem.

[38:21]  ¹¹ tn Heb “against.”

[38:21]  ¹² tn Heb “him”; the referent (Gog, cf. v. 18) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[39:29]  ¹³ sn See Ezek 11:19; 37:14.
