[3:21]  ¹ tn Heb “the righteous man.”

[5:10]  ² tn In context “you” refers to the city of Jerusalem. To make this clear for the modern reader, “Jerusalem” has been supplied in the translation in apposition to “you.”

[5:10]  sn This cannibalism would occur as a result of starvation due to the city being besieged. It is one of the judgments threatened for a covenant law violation (Lev 26:29; see also Deut 28:53; Jer 19:9; Lam 2:20; Zech 11:9).

[5:10]  ³ tn Heb “all of your survivors.”

[5:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “to every wind.”

[7:20]  ⁵ tc The MT reads “he set up the beauty of his ornament as pride.” The verb may be repointed as plural without changing the consonantal text. The Syriac reads “their ornaments” (plural), implying עֶדְיָם (’edyam) rather than עֶדְיוֹ (’edyo) and meaning “they were proud of their beautiful ornaments.” This understands “ornaments” in the common sense of women’s jewelry, which then were used to make idols. The singular suffix “his ornaments” would refer to using items from the temple treasury to make idols. D. I. Block points out the foreshadowing of Ezek 16:17 which, with Rashi and the Targum, supports the understanding that this is a reference to temple items. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:265.

[13:10]  ⁶ tn Or “peace.”

[13:10]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew word only occurs here in the Bible. According to L. C. Allen (Ezekiel [WBC], 1:202-3) it is also used in the Mishnah of a wall of rough stones without mortar. This fits the context here comparing the false prophetic messages to a nice coat of whitewash on a structurally unstable wall.

[13:23]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew verb is feminine plural, indicating that it is the false prophetesses who are addressed here.

[17:19]  ⁹ tn Heb “place it on his head.”

[20:30]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “in the way of your fathers.”

[22:31]  ¹¹ tn Heb “their way on their head I have placed.”

[23:22]  ¹² tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

[36:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “lip of the tongue.”

[39:25]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “cause to return.”
