[20:15]  ¹ tn Heb “I lifted up my hand.”

[21:22]  ² tn Or “on the right side,” i.e., the omen mark on the right side of the liver.

[21:22]  ³ tn Heb “to open the mouth” for slaughter.

[21:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “to raise up a voice in a battle cry.”

[26:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “and they will lift up over you a lament and they will say to you.”

[26:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “O inhabitant.” The translation follows the LXX and understands a different Hebrew verb, meaning “cease,” behind the consonantal text. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 2:72, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:43.

[26:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “she and her inhabitants who placed their terror to all her inhabitants.” The relationship of the final prepositional phrase to what precedes is unclear. The preposition probably has a specifying function here, drawing attention to Tyre’s inhabitants as the source of the terror mentioned prior to this. In this case, one might paraphrase verse 17b: “she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror; yes, her inhabitants (were the source of this terror).”

[38:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “young lions.”

[44:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “a stumbling block of iniquity.” This is a unique phrase of the prophet Ezekiel (cf. also Ezek 7:19; 14:3, 4, 7; 18:30).

[44:12]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “I lifted up my hand.”

[44:12]  ¹¹ tn Heb “will bear.”
