[14:13]  ¹ tn Heb “break its staff of bread.”

[21:22]  ² tn Or “on the right side,” i.e., the omen mark on the right side of the liver.

[21:22]  ³ tn Heb “to open the mouth” for slaughter.

[21:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “to raise up a voice in a battle cry.”

[21:28]  ⁵ tn Heb “their reproach.”

[21:28]  ⁶ tn Heb “to contain, endure.” Since the Hebrew text as it stands makes little, if any, sense, most emend the text to read either “to consume” or “for destruction.” For discussion of options see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:693.

[21:29]  ⁷ tn Heb “in the seeing concerning you falsehood, in divining concerning you a lie.” This probably refers to the attempts of the Ammonites to ward off judgment through prophetic visions and divination.

[21:29]  ⁸ tn Heb “you”; the referent (the sword mentioned in v. 28) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:29]  ⁹ sn The second half of the verse appears to state that the sword of judgment would fall upon the wicked, despite their efforts to prevent it.

[25:13]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and I will cut off from her man and beast.”

[25:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “fall.”

[26:10]  ¹² tn Heb “From the abundance of his horses he will cover you (with) their dust.”

[26:10]  ¹³ tn Heb “like those who enter a breached city.”

[27:27]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “your repairers of damage.” See v. 9.

[34:4]  ¹⁵ tn The term translated “harshness” is used to describe the oppression the Israelites suffered as slaves in Egypt (Exod 1:13).

[38:16]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “come up.”

[38:16]  ¹⁷ tn Or “reveal my holiness.”

[45:9]  ¹⁸ sn Evictions of the less fortunate by the powerful are described in 1 Kgs 21:1-16; Jer 22:1-5, 13-17; Ezek 22:25.
