Yehezkiel 5:12
Konteks5:12 A third of your people will die of plague or be overcome by the famine within you. 1 A third of your people will fall by the sword surrounding you, 2 and a third I will scatter to the winds. I will unleash a sword behind them.
Imamat 26:25
Konteks26:25 I will bring on you an avenging sword, a covenant vengeance. 3 Although 4 you will gather together into your cities, I will send pestilence among you and you will be given into enemy hands. 5
Yehezkiel 14:21
Konteks14:21 “For this is what the sovereign Lord says: How much worse will it be when I send my four terrible judgments – sword, famine, wild animals, and plague – to Jerusalem 6 to kill both people and animals!
[5:12] 1 sn The judgment of plague and famine comes from the covenant curse (Lev 26:25-26). As in v. 10, the city of Jerusalem is figuratively addressed here.
[5:12] 2 sn Judgment by plague, famine, and sword occurs in Jer 21:9; 27:13; Ezek 6:11, 12; 7:15.
[26:25] 3 tn Heb “vengeance of covenant”; cf. NAB “the avenger of my covenant.”
[26:25] 4 tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) has a concessive force in this context.
[26:25] 5 tn Heb “in hand of enemy,” but Tg. Ps.-J. and Tg. Neof. have “in the hands of your enemies” (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 454).
