Yehezkiel 3:20
Konteks3:20 “When a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I set an obstacle 1 before him, he will die. If you have not warned him, he will die for his sin. The righteous deeds he performed will not be considered, but I will hold you accountable for his death.
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.
[3:20] 1 tn Or “stumbling block.” The Hebrew term refers to an obstacle in the road in Lev 19:14.
[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.
