Yehezkiel 4:14
Konteks4:14 And I said, “Ah, sovereign Lord, I have never been ceremonially defiled before. I have never eaten a carcass or an animal torn by wild beasts; from my youth up, unclean meat 1 has never entered my mouth.”
Yehezkiel 16:61
Konteks16:61 Then you will remember your conduct, and be ashamed when you receive your older and younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not on account of my covenant with you.
Yehezkiel 24:21
Konteks24:21 Say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Realize I am about to desecrate my sanctuary – the source of your confident pride, 2 the object in which your eyes delight, 3 and your life’s passion. 4 Your very own sons and daughters whom you have left behind will die 5 by the sword.
Yehezkiel 46:7
Konteks46:7 He will provide a grain offering: an ephah with the bull and an ephah with the ram, and with the lambs as much as he wishes, 6 and a gallon 7 of olive oil with each ephah of grain. 8
[4:14] 1 tn The Hebrew term refers to sacrificial meat not eaten by the appropriate time (Lev 7:18; 19:7).
[24:21] 2 tn Heb “the pride of your strength” means “your strong pride.”
[24:21] 3 sn Heb “the delight of your eyes.” Just as Ezekiel was deprived of his beloved wife (v. 16, the “desire” of his “eyes”) so the Lord would be forced to remove the object of his devotion, the temple, which symbolized his close relationship to his covenant people.
[24:21] 4 tn Heb “the object of compassion of your soul.” The accentuation in the traditional Hebrew text indicates that the descriptive phrases (“the source of your confident pride, the object in which your eyes delight, and your life’s passion”) modify the preceding “my sanctuary.”
[46:7] 6 tn Heb “with the lambs as his hand can reach.”
[46:7] 7 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.
[46:7] 8 tn Heb “ephah.” The words “of grain” are supplied in the translation as a clarification.
