Yehezkiel 13:5

13:5 You have not gone up in the breaks in the wall, nor repaired a wall for the house of Israel that it would stand strong in the battle on the day of the Lord.

[6:10]  ¹ tn Heb “not in vain did I speak to do to them this catastrophe.” The wording of the last half of v. 10 parallels God’s declaration after the sin of the golden calf (Exod 32:14).

[11:3]  ² tn The Hebrew verb may mean “think” in this context. This content of what they say (or think) represents their point of view.

[11:3]  ³ sn The expression build houses may mean “establish families” (Deut 25:9; Ruth 4:11; Prov 24:27).

[11:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “she” or “it”; the feminine pronoun refers here to Jerusalem.

[11:3]  ⁵ sn Jerusalem is also compared to a pot in Ezek 24:3-8. The siege of the city is pictured as heating up the pot.

[16:29]  ⁶ tn Heb “Chaldea.” The name of the tribal group ruling Babylon (“Chaldeans”) and the territory from which they originated (“Chaldea”) is used as metonymy for the whole empire of Babylon.

[16:47]  ⁷ tn Heb “walked in their ways.”

[16:47]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew expression has a temporal meaning as illustrated by the use of the phrase in 2 Chr 12:7.

[17:18]  ⁹ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates being aware of or taking notice of something.

[17:18]  ¹⁰ sn Heb “hand.” “Giving one’s hand” is a gesture of promise (2 Kgs 10:15).

[18:22]  ¹¹ tn Heb “remembered.”

[18:28]  ¹² tn Heb “he saw.”

[18:32]  ¹³ tn Heb “the death of the one dying.”

[20:17]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “my eye pitied.”

[20:48]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “all flesh.”

[24:12]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “(with) toil she has wearied.” The meaning of the statement is unclear in the Hebrew text; some follow the LXX and delete it. The first word in the statement (rendered “toil” in the literal translation above) occurs only here in the OT, and the verb “she has wearied” lacks a stated object. Elsewhere the Hiphil of the verb refers to wearying someone or trying someone’s patience. The feminine subject is apparently the symbolic pot.

[24:12]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “does not go out.”

[24:12]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “in fire its rust.” The meaning of the expression is unclear. The translation understands the statement as a command to burn the rust away. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:768.

[32:9]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “I will provoke the heart of.”

[33:16]  ²⁰ tn Heb “remembered.”

[33:20]  ²¹ tn Heb “ways.”

[37:18]  ²² tn Heb “the sons of your people.”

[44:8]  ²³ tc Instead of an energic nun (ן), the text may have read a third masculine plural suffix ם (mem), “them,” which was confused with ן (nun) in the old script. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:621.

[44:8]  tn This word is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied from the context.

[44:28]  ²⁴ sn See Num 18:20; Deut 10:9; 18:2; Josh 13:33; 18:7.

[44:31]  ²⁵ tn The words “by a wild animal” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied in the translation as a clarification of the circumstances.

[44:31]  sn For this law, see Lev 7:24; 17:15.
