Yehezkiel 9:1

The Execution of Idolaters

9:1 Then he shouted in my ears, “Approach, ¹  you who are to visit destruction on the city, each with his destructive weapon in his hand!”

Yehezkiel 44:8

44:8 You have not kept charge of my holy things, but you have assigned foreigners ²  to keep charge of my sanctuary for you.

Yehezkiel 47:3

47:3 When the man went out toward the east with a measuring line in his hand, he measured 1,750 feet, ³  and then he led me through water, which was ankle deep.

[9:1]  ¹ tc Heb “they approached.” Reading the imperative assumes the same consonantal text but different vowels.

[44:8]  ² tc Instead of an energic nun (ן), the text may have read a third masculine plural suffix ם (mem), “them,” which was confused with ן (nun) in the old script. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:621.

[44:8]  tn This word is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied from the context.

[47:3]  ³ tn Heb “one thousand cubits” (i.e., 525 meters); this phrase occurs three times in the next two verses.
