A Prophecy Against Philistia

25:15 “This is what the sovereign Lord says: ‘The Philistines ²  have exacted merciless revenge, ³  showing intense scorn ⁴  in their effort to destroy Judah ⁵  with unrelenting hostility. ⁶ 

Yehezkiel 35:5

35:5 “‘You have shown unrelenting hostility and poured the people of Israel onto the blades of a sword ⁷  at the time of their calamity, at the time of their final punishment.

Yehezkiel 36:2

36:2 This is what the sovereign Lord says: The enemy has spoken against you, saying “Aha!” and, “The ancient heights ⁸  have become our property!”’

Yehezkiel 37:26

37:26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be a perpetual covenant with them. ⁹  I will establish them, ¹⁰  increase their numbers, and place my sanctuary among them forever.

Yehezkiel 46:14

46:14 And you ¹¹  will provide a grain offering with it morning by morning, a sixth of an ephah, and a third of a gallon ¹²  of olive oil to moisten the choice flour, as a grain offering to the Lord; this is a perpetual statute.

Yehezkiel 26:20

26:20 then I will bring you down to bygone people, ¹³  to be with those who descend to the pit. I will make you live in the lower parts of the earth, among ¹⁴  the primeval ruins, with those who descend to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited or stand ¹⁵  in the land of the living.

Yehezkiel 37:25

37:25 They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, in which your fathers lived; they will live in it – they and their children and their grandchildren forever. David my servant will be prince over them forever.

[16:60]  ¹ tn Or “eternal.”

[25:15]  ² sn The Philistines inhabited the coastal plain by the Mediterranean Sea, west of Judah.

[25:15]  ³ 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]  ⁴ tn Heb “with scorn in (the) soul.”

[25:15]  ⁵ tn The object is not specified in the Hebrew text, but has been clarified as “Judah” in the translation.

[25:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “to destroy (with) perpetual hostility.” Joel 3:4-8 also speaks of the Philistines taking advantage of the fall of Judah.

[35:5]  ⁷ tn Or “gave over…to the power of the sword.” This phrase also occurs in Jer 18:21 and Ps 63:10.

[36:2]  ⁸ tn Or “high places.”

[37:26]  ⁹ sn See Isa 24:5; 55:3; 61:8; Jer 32:40; 50:5; Ezek 16:60, for other references to perpetual covenants.

[37:26]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “give them.”

[46:14]  ¹¹ tc Two medieval Hebrew mss, the LXX, the Syriac, and the Vulgate read the verb as third person singular.

[46:14]  ¹² tn Heb “a hin of oil.” A hin was about 1/16 of a bath. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:266, and O. R. Sellers, “Weights,” IDB 4:835 g.

[26:20]  ¹³ tn Heb “to the people of antiquity.”

[26:20]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “like.” The translation assumes an emendation of the preposition כְּ (kÿ, “like”), to בְּ (bÿ, “in, among”).

[26:20]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and I will place beauty.” This reading makes little sense; many, following the lead of the LXX, emend the text to read “nor will you stand” with the negative particle before the preceding verb understood by ellipsis; see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:73. D. I. Block (Ezekiel [NICOT], 2:47) offers another alternative, taking the apparent first person verb form as an archaic second feminine form and translating “nor radiate splendor.”
