Yehezkiel 44:24

44:24 “‘In a controversy they will act as judges; ¹  they will judge according to my ordinances. They will keep my laws and my statutes regarding all my appointed festivals and will observe ²  my Sabbaths.

Yehezkiel 12:3

12:3 “Therefore, son of man, pack up your belongings as if for exile. During the day, while they are watching, pretend to go into exile. Go from where you live to another place. Perhaps they will understand, ³  although they are a rebellious house.

[44:24]  ¹ sn For a historical illustration of the priest carrying out this function, see 2 Chr 19:9-11.

[44:24]  ² tn Heb “sanctify, set apart.”

[12:3]  ³ tn Heb “see.” This plays on the uses of “see” in v. 2. They will see his actions with their eyes and perhaps they will “see” with their mind, that is, understand or grasp the point.
