[38:17]  ¹ tn Heb “by the hand of my servants.”

[38:17]  ² tn The Hebrew text adds “years” here, but this is probably a scribal gloss on the preceding phrase. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:201.

[34:23]  ³ sn The messianic king is here called “David” (see Jer 30:9 and Hos 3:5, as well as Isa 11:1 and Mic 5:2) because he will fulfill the Davidic royal ideal depicted in the prophets and royal psalms (see Ps 2, 89).

[34:24]  ⁴ sn The messianic king (“David”) is called both “king” and “prince” in 37:24-25. The use of the term “prince” for this king facilitates the contrast between this ideal ruler and the Davidic “princes” denounced in earlier prophecies (see 7:27; 12:10, 12; 19:1; 21:25; 22:6, 25).

[28:25]  ⁵ tn Or “reveal my holiness.” See verse 22.

[37:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “walk [in].”

[37:24]  ⁷ tn Heb “and my statutes they will guard and they will do them.”

[4:14]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew term refers to sacrificial meat not eaten by the appropriate time (Lev 7:18; 19:7).

[46:17]  ⁹ sn That is, the year of Jubilee (Lev 25:8-15).

[44:15]  ¹⁰ sn Zadok was a descendant of Aaron through Eleazar (1 Chr 6:50-53), who served as a priest during David’s reign (2 Sam 8:17).
