20:5 and say to them:

“‘Your heart is proud ¹¹  and you said, “I am a god; ¹²

The Tribal Portions

48:1 “These are the names of the tribes: From the northern end beside the road of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath, as far as Hazar-enan (which is on the border of Damascus, toward the north beside Hamath), extending from the east side to the west, Dan will have one portion.

Yehezkiel 48:10

48:10 These will be the allotments for the holy portion: for the priests, toward the north eight and a quarter miles ³¹  in length, toward the west three and one-third miles ³²  in width, toward the east three and one-third miles ³³  in width, and toward the south eight and a quarter miles ³⁴  in length; the sanctuary of the Lord will be in the middle.

[11:16]  ¹ tn Or “have been partially a sanctuary”; others take this as temporal (cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV “a little while”).

[20:5]  ² tn Heb “I lifted up my hand.”

[20:5]  ³ tn Heb “seed.”

[20:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “I lifted up my hand.”

[22:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “Look! The princes of Israel, each according to his arm, were in you in order to shed blood.”

[26:2]  ⁶ sn Tyre was located on the Mediterranean coast north of Israel.

[26:2]  ⁷ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[26:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “I will be filled.”

[26:2]  ⁹ sn That is, Jerusalem.

[28:2]  ¹⁰ tn Or “ruler” (NIV, NCV).

[28:2]  ¹¹ tn Heb “lifted up.”

[28:2]  sn See Prov 16:5.

[28:2]  ¹² tn Or “I am divine.”

[28:2]  ¹³ tn Heb “and you made your heart (mind) like the heart (mind) of gods.”

[32:5]  ¹⁴ tc The Hebrew text is difficult here, apparently meaning “your height.” Following Symmachus and the Syriac, it is preferable to emend the text to read “your maggots.” See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:203.

[32:11]  ¹⁵ sn The king of Babylon referred to here was Nebuchadnezzar (Ezek 21:19).

[32:11]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “approach.”

[33:12]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “the sons of your people.”

[33:12]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “in the day of his rebellion.” The statement envisions a godly person rejecting what is good and becoming sinful. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:247-48.

[33:12]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and the wickedness of the wicked, he will not stumble in it in the day of his turning from his wickedness.”

[33:12]  ²⁰ tn Heb “by it.”

[33:12]  ²¹ tn Heb “in the day of his sin.”

[34:25]  ²² tn The phrase “live securely” occurs in Ezek 28:26; 38:8, 11, 14; 39:26 as an expression of freedom from fear. It is a promised blessing resulting from obedience (see Lev 26:5-6).

[34:25]  ²³ sn The woods were typically considered to be places of danger (Ps 104:20-21; Jer 5:6).

[37:23]  ²⁴ tc Heb “their dwellings.” The text as it stands does not make sense. Based on the LXX, a slight emendation of two vowels, including a mater, yields the reading “from their turning,” a reference here to their turning from God and deviating from his commandments. See BDB 1000 s.v. מְשׁוּבָה, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:407.

[40:16]  ²⁵ sn Decorative palm trees were also a part of Solomon’s temple (1 Kgs 6:29, 32, 35).

[46:14]  ²⁶ tc Two medieval Hebrew mss, the LXX, the Syriac, and the Vulgate read the verb as third person singular.

[46:14]  ²⁷ tn Heb “a hin of oil.” A hin was about 1/16 of a bath. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:266, and O. R. Sellers, “Weights,” IDB 4:835 g.

[47:8]  ²⁸ tn Heb “the sea,” referring to the Dead Sea. This has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[47:8]  ²⁹ tn Heb “to the sea, those which are brought out.” The reading makes no sense. The text is best emended to read “filthy” (i.e., stagnant). See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:273.

[47:8]  ³⁰ tn Heb “the waters become healed.”

[48:10]  ³¹ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).

[48:10]  ³² tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).

[48:10]  ³³ tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).

[48:10]  ³⁴ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).
