[6:7]  ¹ sn The phrase you will know that I am the Lord concludes over sixty oracles in the book of Ezekiel and indicates the ultimate goal of God’s action. The phrase is often used in the book of Exodus as well (Exod 7:5; 14:4, 18). By Ezekiel’s day the people had forgotten that the Lord (Yahweh) was their covenant God and had turned to other gods. They had to be reminded that Yahweh alone deserved to be worshiped because only he possessed the power to meet their needs. Through judgment and eventually deliverance, Israel would be reminded that Yahweh alone held their destiny in his hands.

[7:6]  ² tn Or “has come.”

[7:6]  ³ tn Or “has come.”

[7:6]  ⁴ tc With different vowels the verb rendered “it has awakened” would be the noun “the end,” as in “the end is upon you.” The verb would represent a phonetic wordplay. The noun by virtue of repetition would continue to reinforce the idea of the end. Whether verb or noun, this is the only instance to occur with this preposition.

[7:6]  ⁵ tc For this entire verse, the LXX has only “the end is come.”

[7:6]  tn In each of the three cases of the verb translated with forms of “to come,” the form may either be a participle (“comes/is coming”) or a perfect (“has come”). Either form would indicate that the end is soon to arrive. This last form appears also to be feminine, although “end” is masculine. This shift may be looking ahead to the next verse, whose first noun (“Doom”) is feminine.

[10:8]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew term is normally used as an architectural term in describing the plan or pattern of the tabernacle or temple or a representation of it (see Exod 25:8; 1 Chr 28:11).

[28:3]  ⁷ sn Or perhaps “Danel” (so TEV), referring to a ruler known from Canaanite legend. See the note on “Daniel” in 14:14. A reference to Danel (preserved in legend at Ugarit, near the northern end of the Phoenician coast) makes more sense here when addressing Tyre than in 14:14.

[28:3]  ⁸ sn The tone here is sarcastic, reflecting the ruler’s view of himself.

[40:9]  ⁹ tn Heb “eight cubits” (i.e., 4.2 meters).

[40:9]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “two cubits” (i.e., 1.05 meters).

[40:30]  ¹¹ tn Heb “twenty-five cubits” (i.e., 13.125 meters).

[40:30]  ¹² tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

[48:7]  ¹³ sn The tribe from which the Davidic prince would come is given the most prestigious allotment (see Gen 49:8-12).
