[3:11]  ¹ tn Heb “to the sons of your people.”

[14:14]  ² sn Traditionally this has been understood as a reference to the biblical Daniel, though he was still quite young when Ezekiel prophesied. One wonders if he had developed a reputation as an intercessor by this point. For this reason some prefer to see a reference to a ruler named Danel, known in Canaanite legend for his justice and wisdom. In this case all three of the individuals named would be non-Israelites, however the Ugaritic Danel is not known to have qualities of faith in the Lord that would place him in the company of the other men. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:447-50.

[16:15]  ³ tn Heb “it” (so KJV, ASV); the referent (the beauty in which the prostitute trusted, see the beginning of the verse) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel.” The horn is used as a figure for military power in the OT (Ps 92:10). A similar expression is made about the Davidic dynasty in Ps 132:17.

[29:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “I will grant you an open mouth.”

[32:23]  ⁶ tn Heb “whose.”

[32:23]  ⁷ tn The only other occurrence of the phrase “remote slopes of the pit” is in Isa 14:15.

[33:16]  ⁸ tn Heb “remembered.”

[44:28]  ⁹ sn See Num 18:20; Deut 10:9; 18:2; Josh 13:33; 18:7.

[48:30]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “four thousand five hundred cubits” (i.e., 2.36 kilometers); the phrase occurs again in vv. 32-34.
