[7:27]  ¹ tn Heb “and by their judgments.”

[17:17]  ² tn Heb “deal with” or “work with.”

[22:25]  ³ tn Heb “a conspiracy of her prophets is in her midst.” The LXX reads “whose princes” rather than “a conspiracy of prophets.” The prophets are mentioned later in the paragraph (v. 28). If one follows the LXX in verse 25, then five distinct groups are mentioned in vv. 25-29: princes, priests, officials, prophets, and the people of the land. For a defense of the Septuagintal reading, see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:32, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:720, n. 4.

[22:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “her widows they have multiplied.” The statement alludes to their murderous acts.

[29:6]  ⁵ sn Compare Isa 36:6.

[32:23]  ⁶ tn Heb “whose.”

[32:23]  ⁷ tn The only other occurrence of the phrase “remote slopes of the pit” is in Isa 14:15.
