Yehezkiel 21:25

21:25 “‘As for you, profane and wicked prince of Israel, ⁵ 

whose day has come, the time of final punishment,

[4:5]  ¹ tn Heb “I have assigned for you that the years of their iniquity be the number of days.” Num 14:33-34 is an example of the reverse, where the days were converted into years, the number of days spying out the land becoming the number of years of the wilderness wanderings.

[4:5]  ² tc The LXX reads “190 days.”

[4:5]  sn The significance of the number 390 is not clear. The best explanation is that “days” are used figuratively for years and the number refers to the years of the sinfulness of Israel during the period of the First Temple. Some understand the number to refer to the length of the division of the northern and southern kingdoms down to the fall of Jerusalem (931-586 b.c.), but this adds up to only 345 years.

[4:5]  ³ tn Or “When you have carried the iniquity of the house of Israel,” and continuing on to the next verse.

[20:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “will you judge.” Here the imperfect form of the verb is probably used with a desiderative nuance. Addressed to the prophet, “judge” means to warn of or pronounce God’s impending judgment.

[21:25]  ⁵ tn This probably refers to King Zedekiah.
