Yehezkiel 10:2

10:2 The Lord ¹  said to the man dressed in linen, “Go between the wheelwork ²  underneath the cherubim. ³  Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” He went as I watched.

Yehezkiel 38:12

38:12 to loot and plunder, to attack ⁴  the inhabited ruins and the people gathered from the nations, who are acquiring cattle and goods, who live at the center ⁵  of the earth.”

[10:2]  ¹ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:2]  ² tn The Hebrew term often refers to chariot wheels (Isa 28:28; Ezek 23:24; 26:10).

[10:2]  ³ tc The LXX, Syriac, Vulgate, and Targum mss read plural “cherubim” while the MT is singular here, “cherub.” The plural ending was probably omitted in copying the MT due to the similar beginning of the next word.

[38:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “to turn your hand against.”

[38:12]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew term occurs elsewhere only in Judg 9:37. Perhaps it means “high point, top.”
