Yehezkiel 30:9

30:9 On that day messengers will go out from me in ships to frighten overly confident Ethiopia; panic will overtake them on the day of Egypt’s doom; ¹  for beware – it is coming!

Yehezkiel 38:18

38:18 On that day, when Gog invades ²  the land of Israel, declares the sovereign Lord, my rage will mount up in my anger.

Yehezkiel 16:56

16:56 In your days of majesty, ³  was not Sodom your sister a byword in your mouth,

Yehezkiel 24:26

24:26 On that day a fugitive will come to you to report the news. ⁴ 

Yehezkiel 33:12

33:12 “And you, son of man, say to your people, ⁵  ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him if he rebels. ⁶  As for the wicked, his wickedness will not make him stumble if he turns from it. ⁷  The righteous will not be able to live by his righteousness ⁸  if he sins.’ ⁹ 

Yehezkiel 13:5

13:5 You have not gone up in the breaks in the wall, nor repaired a wall for the house of Israel that it would stand strong in the battle on the day of the Lord.

Yehezkiel 23:38

23:38 Moreover, they have done this to me: In the very same day ¹⁰  they desecrated my sanctuary and profaned my Sabbaths.

Yehezkiel 45:22

45:22 On that day the prince will provide for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering.

Yehezkiel 46:4

46:4 The burnt offering which the prince will offer to the Lord on the Sabbath day will be six unblemished lambs and one unblemished ram.

Yehezkiel 34:12

34:12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his scattered sheep, so I will seek out my flock. I will rescue them from all the places where they have been scattered on a cloudy, dark day. ¹¹ 

Yehezkiel 16:4

16:4 As for your birth, on the day you were born your umbilical cord was not cut, nor were you washed in water; ¹²  you were certainly not rubbed down with salt, nor wrapped with blankets. ¹³ 

Yehezkiel 22:24

22:24 “Son of man, say to her: ‘You are a land that receives no rain ¹⁴  or showers in the day of my anger.’ ¹⁵ 

Yehezkiel 23:39

23:39 On the same day they slaughtered their sons for their idols, they came to my sanctuary to desecrate it. This is what they have done in the middle of my house.

Yehezkiel 24:27

24:27 On that day you will be able to speak again; ¹⁶  you will talk with the fugitive and be silent no longer. You will be an object lesson for them, and they will know that I am the Lord.”

Yehezkiel 29:21

29:21 On that day I will make Israel powerful, ¹⁷  and I will give you the right to be heard ¹⁸  among them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

Yehezkiel 32:10

32:10 I will shock many peoples with you,

and their kings will shiver with horror because of you.

When I brandish my sword before them,

every moment each one will tremble for his life, on the day of your fall.

Yehezkiel 36:33

36:33 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: In the day I cleanse you from all your sins, I will populate the cities and the ruins will be rebuilt.

Yehezkiel 38:10

38:10 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind, ¹⁹  and you will devise an evil plan.

Yehezkiel 38:14

38:14 “Therefore, prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog: ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: On that day when my people Israel are living securely, you will take notice ²⁰ 

Yehezkiel 38:19

38:19 In my zeal, in the fire of my fury, ²¹  I declare that on that day there will be a great earthquake ²²  in the land of Israel.

Yehezkiel 1:28

1:28 like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds after the rain. ²³  This was the appearance of the surrounding brilliant light; it looked like the glory of the Lord. When I saw ²⁴  it, I threw myself face down, and I heard a voice speaking.

Yehezkiel 7:19

7:19 They will discard their silver in the streets, and their gold will be treated like filth. ²⁵  Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the Lord’s fury. ²⁶  They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs because their wealth ²⁷  was the obstacle leading to their iniquity. ²⁸ 

Yehezkiel 16:5

16:5 No eye took pity on you to do even one of these things for you to spare you; ²⁹  you were thrown out into the open field ³⁰  because you were detested on the day you were born.

Yehezkiel 20:5-6

20:5 and say to them:

“‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: On the day I chose Israel I swore ³¹  to the descendants ³²  of the house of Jacob and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt. I swore ³³  to them, “I am the Lord your God.” 20:6 On that day I swore ³⁴  to bring them out of the land of Egypt to a land which I had picked out ³⁵  for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, ³⁶  the most beautiful of all lands.

Yehezkiel 24:25

24:25 “And you, son of man, this is what will happen on the day I take ³⁷  from them their stronghold – their beautiful source of joy, the object in which their eyes delight, and the main concern of their lives, ³⁸  as well as their sons and daughters: ³⁹ 

Yehezkiel 27:27

27:27 Your wealth, products, and merchandise, your sailors and captains,

your ship’s carpenters, ⁴⁰  your merchants,

and all your fighting men within you,

along with all your crew who are in you,

will fall into the heart of the seas on the day of your downfall.

Yehezkiel 28:13

28:13 You were in Eden, the garden of God. ⁴¹ 

Every precious stone was your covering,

the ruby, topaz, and emerald,

the chrysolite, onyx, and jasper,

the sapphire, turquoise, and beryl; ⁴² 

your settings and mounts were made of gold.

On the day you were created they were prepared.

Yehezkiel 31:15

31:15 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: On the day it ⁴³  went down to Sheol I caused observers to lament. ⁴⁴  I covered it with the deep and held back its rivers; its plentiful water was restrained. I clothed Lebanon in black for it, and all the trees of the field wilted because of it.

Yehezkiel 39:11

39:11 “‘On that day I will assign Gog a grave in Israel. It will be the valley of those who travel east of the sea; it will block the way of the travelers. There they will bury Gog and all his horde; they will call it the valley of Hamon-Gog. ⁴⁵ 

Yehezkiel 43:18

43:18 Then he said to me: “Son of man, this is what the sovereign Lord says: These are the statutes of the altar: On the day it is built to offer up burnt offerings on it and to sprinkle blood on it, ⁴⁶ 

Yehezkiel 43:27

43:27 When the prescribed period is over, ⁴⁷  on the eighth day and thereafter the priests will offer up on the altar your burnt offerings and your peace offerings; ⁴⁸  I will accept you, declares the sovereign Lord.”

Yehezkiel 46:12

46:12 When the prince provides a freewill offering, a burnt offering, or peace offerings as a voluntary offering to the Lord, the gate facing east will be opened for him, and he will provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings just as he did on the Sabbath. Then he will go out, and the gate will be closed after he goes out. ⁴⁹ 

[30:9]  ¹ tn Heb “in the day of Egypt.” The word “doom” has been added in the translation to clarify the nature of this day.

[38:18]  ² tn Heb “goes up against.”

[16:56]  ³ tn Or “pride.”

[24:26]  ⁴ tn Heb “to make the ears hear.”

[33:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “the sons of your people.”

[33:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “in the day of his rebellion.” The statement envisions a godly person rejecting what is good and becoming sinful. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:247-48.

[33:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the wickedness of the wicked, he will not stumble in it in the day of his turning from his wickedness.”

[33:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “by it.”

[33:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “in the day of his sin.”

[23:38]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “in that day.”

[34:12]  ¹¹ sn The imagery may reflect the overthrow of the Israelites by the Babylonians in 587/6 b.c.

[16:4]  ¹² tn Heb “in water you were not washed for cleansing” or “with water you were not washed smooth” (see D. I. Block, Ezekiel [NICOT], 1:473, n. 57, for a discussion of possible meanings of this hapax legomenon).

[16:4]  ¹³ sn Arab midwives still cut the umbilical cords of infants and then proceed to apply salt and oil to their bodies.

[22:24]  ¹⁴ tc The MT reads “that is not cleansed”; the LXX reads “that is not drenched,” which assumes a different vowel pointing as well as the loss of a מ (mem) due to haplography. In light of the following reference to showers, the reading of the LXX certainly fits the context well. For a defense of the emendation, see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:32. Yet the MT is not an unreasonable reading since uncleanness in the land also fits the context, and a poetic connection between rain and the land being uncleansed may be feasible since washing with water is elsewhere associated with cleansing (Num 8:7; 31:23; Ps 51:7).

[22:24]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “in a day of anger.”

[24:27]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “your mouth will open.”

[29:21]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel.” The horn is used as a figure for military power in the OT (Ps 92:10). A similar expression is made about the Davidic dynasty in Ps 132:17.

[29:21]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “I will grant you an open mouth.”

[38:10]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “words will go up upon your heart.”

[38:14]  ²⁰ tn The Hebrew text is framed as a rhetorical question: “will you not take notice?”

[38:19]  ²¹ sn The phrase “in the fire of my fury” occurs in Ezek 21:31; 22:21, 31.

[38:19]  ²² tn Or “shaking.”

[1:28]  ²³ sn Reference to the glowing substance and the brilliant light and storm phenomena in vv. 27-28a echoes in reverse order the occurrence of these phenomena in v. 4.

[1:28]  ²⁴ tn The vision closes with the repetition of the verb “I saw” from the beginning of the vision in 1:4.

[7:19]  ²⁵ tn The Hebrew term can refer to menstrual impurity. The term also occurs at the end of v. 20.

[7:19]  ²⁶ sn Compare Zeph 1:18.

[7:19]  ²⁷ tn Heb “it.” Apparently the subject is the silver and gold mentioned earlier (see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 1:102).

[7:19]  ²⁸ tn The “stumbling block of their iniquity” is a unique phrase of the prophet Ezekiel (Ezek 14:3, 4, 7; 18:30; 44:12).

[16:5]  ²⁹ sn These verbs, “pity” and “spare,” echo the judgment oracles in 5:11; 7:4, 9; 8:18; 9:5, 10.

[16:5]  ³⁰ sn A similar concept is found in Deut 32:10.

[20:5]  ³¹ tn Heb “I lifted up my hand.”

[20:5]  ³² tn Heb “seed.”

[20:5]  ³³ tn Heb “I lifted up my hand.”

[20:6]  ³⁴ tn Heb “I lifted up my hand to them.”

[20:6]  ³⁵ tn Or “searched out.” The Hebrew word is used to describe the activity of the spies in “spying out” the land of Canaan (Num 13-14); cf. KJV “I had espied for them.”

[20:6]  ³⁶ sn The phrase “a land flowing with milk and honey,” a figure of speech describing the land’s abundant fertility, occurs in v. 15 as well as Exod 3:8, 17; 13:5; 33:3; Lev 20:24; Num 13:27; Deut 6:3; 11:9; 26:9; 27:3; Josh 5:6; Jer 11:5; 32:23 (see also Deut 1:25; 8:7-9).

[24:25]  ³⁷ tn Heb “(Will) it not (be) in the day I take?”

[24:25]  ³⁸ tn Heb “the uplifting of their soul.” According to BDB 672 s.v. מַשָּׂא 2, the term “uplifting” refers to “that to which they lift up their soul, their heart’s desire.” However, this text is the only one listed for this use. It seems more likely that the term has its well-attested nuance of “burden, load,” here and refers to that which weighs them down emotionally and is a constant source of concern or worry.

[24:25]  ³⁹ tn In the Hebrew text there is no conjunction before “their sons and daughters.” For this reason one might assume that the preceding descriptive phrases refer to the sons and daughters, but verse 21 suggests otherwise. The descriptive phrases appear to refer to the “stronghold,” which parallels “my sanctuary” in verse 21. The children constitute a separate category.

[27:27]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “your repairers of damage.” See v. 9.

[28:13]  ⁴¹ sn The imagery of the lament appears to draw upon an extrabiblical Eden tradition about the expulsion of the first man (see v. 14 and the note there) from the garden due to his pride. The biblical Eden tradition speaks of cherubs placed as guardians at the garden entrance following the sin of Adam and Eve (Gen 3:24), but no guardian cherub like the one described in verse 14 is depicted or mentioned in the biblical account. Ezekiel’s imagery also appears to reflect Mesopotamian and Canaanite mythology at certain points. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:119-20.

[28:13]  ⁴² tn The exact identification of each gemstone is uncertain. The list should be compared to that of the priest in Exod 28:17-20, which lists twelve stones in rows of three. The LXX apparently imports the Exod 28 list. See reference to the types of stones in L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:91.

[31:15]  ⁴³ tn Or “he.”

[31:15]  ⁴⁴ tn Heb “I caused lamentation.” D. I. Block (Ezekiel [NICOT], 2:194-95) proposes an alternative root which would give the meaning “I gated back the waters,” i.e., shut off the water supply.

[39:11]  ⁴⁵ tn The name means “horde of Gog.”

[43:18]  ⁴⁶ sn For the “sprinkling of blood,” see Lev 1:5, 11; 8:19; 9:12.

[43:27]  ⁴⁷ tn Heb “and they will complete the days.”

[43:27]  ⁴⁸ sn The people also could partake of the food of the peace offering (Lev 3).

[46:12]  ⁴⁹ tn Heb “he shall shut the gate after he goes out.”
