[7:3] 1 tn Or “punish” (cf. BDB 1047 s.v. שָׁפַט 3.c).
[7:3] 3 tn Heb “I will place on you.”
[11:3] 4 tn The Hebrew verb may mean “think” in this context. This content of what they say (or think) represents their point of view.
[11:3] 5 sn The expression build houses may mean “establish families” (Deut 25:9; Ruth 4:11; Prov 24:27).
[11:3] 6 tn Heb “she” or “it”; the feminine pronoun refers here to Jerusalem.
[11:3] 7 sn Jerusalem is also compared to a pot in Ezek 24:3-8. The siege of the city is pictured as heating up the pot.
[13:10] 9 tn The Hebrew word only occurs here in the Bible. According to L. C. Allen (Ezekiel [WBC], 1:202-3) it is also used in the Mishnah of a wall of rough stones without mortar. This fits the context here comparing the false prophetic messages to a nice coat of whitewash on a structurally unstable wall.
[13:11] 10 tn Heb “and you, O hailstones.”
[13:11] 11 sn A violent wind will break out. God’s judgments are frequently described in storm imagery (Pss 18:7-15; 77:17-18; 83:15; Isa 28:17; 30:30; Jer 23:19; 30:23).

[21:3] 13 tn Heb “the land of Israel.”
[21:3] 14 tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) draws attention to something and has been translated here as a verb.
[21:3] 15 tn Or “I challenge you.” The phrase “I am against you” may be a formula for challenging someone to combat or a duel. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:201-2, and P. Humbert, “Die Herausforderungsformel ‘h!nn#n' ?l?K>,’” ZAW 45 (1933): 101-8.
[21:3] 16 sn This is the sword of judgment, see Isa 31:8; 34:6; 66:16.
[21:3] 17 sn Ezekiel elsewhere pictures the Lord’s judgment as discriminating between the righteous and the wicked (9:4-6; 18:1-20; see as well Pss 1 and 11) and speaks of the preservation of a remnant (3:21; 6:8; 12:16). Perhaps here he exaggerates for rhetorical effect in an effort to subdue any false optimism. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:25-26; D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:669-70; and W. Zimmerli, Ezekiel (Hermeneia), 1:424-25.
[23:49] 18 tn Heb “and the sins of your idols you will bear.” By extension it can mean the punishment for the sins.
[29:6] 19 sn Compare Isa 36:6.
[29:13] 20 sn In Ezek 4:4-8 it was said that the house of Judah would suffer forty years.
[29:16] 21 tn Heb “reminding of iniquity when they turned after them.”
[36:37] 22 tn The Niphal verb may have a tolerative function here, “Again (for) this I will allow myself to be sought by the house of Israel to act for them.” Or it may be reflexive: “I will reveal myself to the house of Israel by doing this also.”
[36:37] 23 sn Heb “I will multiply them like sheep, human(s).”
