Yehezkiel 5:15

5:15 You will be ¹  an object of scorn and taunting, ²  a prime example of destruction ³  among the nations around you when I execute judgments against you in anger and raging fury. ⁴  I, the Lord, have spoken!

Yehezkiel 9:6

9:6 Old men, young men, young women, little children, and women – wipe them out! But do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary!” So they began with the elders who were at the front of the temple.

Yehezkiel 11:1

The Fall of Jerusalem

11:1 A wind ⁵  lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the Lord’s temple that faces the east. There, at the entrance of the gate, I noticed twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, officials of the people. ⁶ 

Yehezkiel 12:19

12:19 Then say to the people of the land, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says about the inhabitants of Jerusalem and of the land of Israel: They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water in fright, for their land will be stripped bare of all it contains because of the violence of all who live in it.

Yehezkiel 14:4

14:4 Therefore speak to them and say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: When any one from the house of Israel erects his idols in his heart and sets the obstacle leading to his iniquity before his face, and then consults a prophet, I the Lord am determined to answer him personally according to the enormity of his idolatry. ⁷ 

Yehezkiel 26:17

26:17 They will sing this lament over you: ⁸ 

“‘How you have perished – you have vanished ⁹  from the seas,

O renowned city, once mighty in the sea,

she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror! ¹⁰ 

Yehezkiel 32:21

32:21 The bravest of the warriors will speak to him from the midst of Sheol along with his allies, saying: ‘The uncircumcised have come down; they lie still, killed by the sword.’

Yehezkiel 33:24

33:24 “Son of man, the ones living in these ruins in the land of Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land, but we are many; surely the land has been given to us for a possession.’ ¹¹ 

Yehezkiel 33:30

33:30 “But as for you, son of man, your people ¹²  (who are talking about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses) say to one another, ¹³  ‘Come hear the word that comes ¹⁴  from the Lord.’

Yehezkiel 37:16

37:16 “As for you, son of man, take one branch, and write on it, ‘For Judah, and for the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another branch and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the branch of Ephraim and all the house of Israel associated with him.’

Yehezkiel 37:26

37:26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be a perpetual covenant with them. ¹⁵  I will establish them, ¹⁶  increase their numbers, and place my sanctuary among them forever.

Yehezkiel 39:28

39:28 Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them into exile among the nations, and then gathered them into their own land. I will not leave any of them in exile ¹⁷  any longer.

Yehezkiel 40:16

40:16 There were closed windows toward the alcoves and toward their jambs within the gate all around, and likewise for the porches. There were windows all around the inside, and on each jamb were decorative palm trees. ¹⁸ 

Yehezkiel 40:21

40:21 Its alcoves, three on each side, and its jambs and porches had the same measurement as the first gate; 87½ feet ¹⁹  long and 43¾ feet ²⁰  wide.

Yehezkiel 48:8

48:8 “Next to the border of Judah from the east side to the west will be the allotment you must set apart. It is to be eight and a quarter miles ²¹  wide, and the same length as one of the tribal portions, from the east side to the west; the sanctuary will be in the middle of it.

Yehezkiel 48:18

48:18 The remainder of the length alongside the holy allotment will be three and one-third miles ²²  to the east and three and one-third miles toward the west, and it will be beside the holy allotment. Its produce will be for food for the workers of the city.

[5:15]  ¹ tc This reading is supported by the versions and by the Dead Sea Scrolls (11QEzek). Most Masoretic Hebrew mss read “it will be,” but if the final he (ה) is read as a mater lectionis, as it can be with the second masculine singular perfect, then they are in agreement. In either case the subject refers to Jerusalem.

[5:15]  ² tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT. A related verb means “revile, taunt” (see Ps 44:16).

[5:15]  ³ tn Heb “discipline and devastation.” These words are omitted in the Old Greek. The first term pictures Jerusalem as a recipient or example of divine discipline; the second depicts her as a desolate ruin (see Ezek 6:14).

[5:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “in anger and in fury and in rebukes of fury.” The heaping up of synonyms emphasizes the degree of God’s anger.

[11:1]  ⁵ tn Or “spirit.” See note on “wind” in 2:2.

[11:1]  ⁶ sn The phrase officials of the people occurs in Neh 11:1; 1 Chr 21:2; 2 Chr 24:23.

[14:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “in accordance with the multitude of his idols.”

[26:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “and they will lift up over you a lament and they will say to you.”

[26:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “O inhabitant.” The translation follows the LXX and understands a different Hebrew verb, meaning “cease,” behind the consonantal text. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 2:72, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:43.

[26:17]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “she and her inhabitants who placed their terror to all her inhabitants.” The relationship of the final prepositional phrase to what precedes is unclear. The preposition probably has a specifying function here, drawing attention to Tyre’s inhabitants as the source of the terror mentioned prior to this. In this case, one might paraphrase verse 17b: “she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror; yes, her inhabitants (were the source of this terror).”

[33:24]  ¹¹ sn Outside of its seven occurrences in Ezekiel the term translated “possession” appears only in Exod 6:8 and Deut 33:4.

[33:30]  ¹² tn Heb “sons of your people.”

[33:30]  ¹³ tn Heb “one to one, a man to his brother.”

[33:30]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “comes out.”

[37:26]  ¹⁵ sn See Isa 24:5; 55:3; 61:8; Jer 32:40; 50:5; Ezek 16:60, for other references to perpetual covenants.

[37:26]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “give them.”

[39:28]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “there,” referring to the foreign nations to which they were exiled. The translation makes the referent clear.

[40:16]  ¹⁸ sn Decorative palm trees were also a part of Solomon’s temple (1 Kgs 6:29, 32, 35).

[40:21]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “fifty cubits” (i.e., 26.25 meters).

[40:21]  ²⁰ tn Heb “twenty-five cubits” (i.e., 13.125 meters).

[48:8]  ²¹ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).

[48:18]  ²² tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers); the phrase occurs again later in this verse.
