Yehezkiel 16:52
Konteks16:52 So now, bear your disgrace, because you have given your sisters reason to justify their behavior. 1 Because the sins you have committed were more abominable than those of your sisters; they have become more righteous than you. So now, be ashamed and bear the disgrace of making your sisters appear righteous.
Yehezkiel 37:23
Konteks37:23 They will not defile themselves with their idols, their detestable things, and all their rebellious deeds. I will save them from all their unfaithfulness 2 by which they sinned. I will purify them; they will become my people and I will become their God.
[16:52] 1 tn Heb “because you have interceded for your sisters with your sins.”
[37:23] 2 tc Heb “their dwellings.” The text as it stands does not make sense. Based on the LXX, a slight emendation of two vowels, including a mater, yields the reading “from their turning,” a reference here to their turning from God and deviating from his commandments. See BDB 1000 s.v. מְשׁוּבָה, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:407.
