[29:13] 1 tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonai).
[29:13] 2 tn Heb “Because these people draw near to me with their mouth.”
[29:13] 3 tn Heb “and with their lips they honor me.”
[29:13] 4 tn Heb “but their heart is far from me.” The heart is viewed here as the seat of the will, from which genuine loyalty derives.
[29:13] 5 tn Heb “their fear of me is a commandment of men that has been taught.”
[33:31] 6 tn Heb “as people come.” Apparently this is an idiom indicating that they come in crowds. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:264.
[33:31] 7 tn The word “as” is supplied in the translation.
[33:31] 9 tn Heb “They do lust with their mouths.”
[33:31] 10 tn Heb “goes after.”
[33:31] 11 tn The present translation understands the term often used for “unjust gain” in a wider sense, following M. Greenberg, who also notes that the LXX uses a term which can describe either sexual or ritual pollution. See M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:687.
[15:8] 12 tn The term “heart” is a collective singular in the Greek text.
[7:6] 13 tn The term “heart” is a collective singular in the Greek text.
