Yehezkiel 18:9
Konteks18:9 and follows my statutes and observes my regulations by carrying them out. 1 That man 2 is righteous; he will certainly live, 3 declares the sovereign Lord.
Yehezkiel 19:11
Konteks19:11 Its boughs were strong, fit 4 for rulers’ scepters; it reached up into the clouds.
It stood out because of its height and its many branches. 5
[18:9] 1 tc The MT reads לַעֲשׂוֹת אֱמֶת (la’asot ’emet, “to do with integrity”), while the LXX reads “to do them,” presupposing לַעֲשׂוֹת אֹתָם (la’asot ’otam). The ם (mem) and ת (tav) have been reversed in the MT. The LXX refelcts the original, supported by similar phrasing in Ezekiel 11:20; 20:19.
[18:9] 3 tn Heb “living, he will live.” The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.
[19:11] 4 tn The word “fit” does not occur in the Hebrew text.
[19:11] 5 tn Heb “and it was seen by its height and by the abundance of its branches.”
