Yehezkiel 12:3

12:3 “Therefore, son of man, pack up your belongings as if for exile. During the day, while they are watching, pretend to go into exile. Go from where you live to another place. Perhaps they will understand, ²  although they are a rebellious house.

Yehezkiel 3:6

3:6 not to many peoples of unintelligible speech and difficult language, whose words you cannot understand ³  – surely if ⁴  I had sent you to them, they would listen to you!

Yehezkiel 3:5

3:5 For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech ⁵  and difficult language, ⁶  but ⁷  to the house of Israel –

Yehezkiel 10:20

10:20 These were the living creatures ⁸  which I saw at the Kebar River underneath the God of Israel; I knew that they were cherubim.

Yehezkiel 20:49

Because you think you are godlike, ⁹

Yehezkiel 14:23

Yehezkiel 21:23

6:9 Then your survivors will remember me among the nations where they are exiled. They will realize ¹⁸  how I was crushed by their unfaithful ¹⁹  heart which turned from me and by their eyes which lusted after their idols. They will loathe themselves ²⁰  because of the evil they have done and because of all their abominable practices.

[20:48]  ¹ tn Heb “all flesh.”

[12:3]  ² tn Heb “see.” This plays on the uses of “see” in v. 2. They will see his actions with their eyes and perhaps they will “see” with their mind, that is, understand or grasp the point.

[3:6]  ³ tn Heb “hear.”

[3:6]  ⁴ tc The MT reads “if not” but most ancient versions translate only “if.” The expression occurs with this sense in Isa 5:9; 14:24. See also Ezek 34:8; 36:5; 38:19.

[3:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “deep of lip” (in the sense of incomprehensible).

[3:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “heavy of tongue.” Similar language occurs in Exod 4:10; Isa 33:19.

[3:5]  ⁷ tn The conjunction “but” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied from the context.

[10:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “That was the living creature.”

[28:6]  ⁹ tn Heb “because of your making your heart like the heart of gods.”

[17:12]  ¹⁰ tn The words “of Israel” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation as a clarification of the referent.

[17:12]  sn The book of Ezekiel frequently refers to the Israelites as a rebellious house (Ezek 2:5, 6, 8; 3:9, 26-27; 12:2-3, 9, 25; 17:12; 24:3).

[17:12]  ¹¹ sn The narrative description of this interpretation of the riddle is given in 2 Kgs 24:11-15.

[21:23]  ¹³ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the people in Jerusalem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:23]  ¹⁴ sn When the people of Judah realized the Babylonians’ intentions, they would object on grounds that they had made a treaty with the Babylonian king (see 17:13).

[21:23]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king of Babylon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:23]  ¹⁶ tn Or “iniquity.”

[21:23]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and he will remind of guilt for the purpose of being captured.” The king would counter their objections by pointing out that they had violated their treaty with him (see 17:18).

[6:9]  ¹⁸ tn The words “they will realize” are not in the Hebrew text; they are added here for stylistic reasons since this clause assumes the previous verb “to remember” or “to take into account.”

[6:9]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “how I was broken by their adulterous heart.” The image of God being “broken” is startling, but perfectly natural within the metaphorical framework of God as offended husband. The idiom must refer to the intense grief that Israel’s unfaithfulness caused God. For a discussion of the syntax and semantics of the Hebrew text, see M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 1:134.

[6:9]  ²⁰ tn Heb adds “in their faces.”
