Yehezkiel 1:12

1:12 Each moved straight ahead ¹  – wherever the spirit ²  would go, they would go, without turning as they went.

Yehezkiel 10:20

10:20 These were the living creatures ³  which I saw at the Kebar River underneath the God of Israel; I knew that they were cherubim.

Yehezkiel 12:22

12:22 “Son of man, what is this proverb you have in the land of Israel, ‘The days pass slowly, and every vision fails’?

Yehezkiel 23:21

23:21 This is how you assessed ⁴  the obscene conduct of your youth, when the Egyptians fondled ⁵  your nipples and squeezed ⁶  your young breasts.

Yehezkiel 24:7

24:7 For her blood was in it;

she poured it on an exposed rock;

she did not pour it on the ground to cover it up with dust.

Yehezkiel 27:32

27:32 As they wail they will lament over you, chanting:

“Who was like Tyre, like a tower ⁷  in the midst of the sea?”

Yehezkiel 42:8

42:8 For the chambers on the outer court were 87½ feet ⁸  long, while those facing the temple were 175 feet ⁹  long.

[1:12]  ¹ tn See the note on “straight ahead” in v. 9.

[1:12]  ² tn Or “wind.”

[10:20]  ³ tn Heb “That was the living creature.”

[23:21]  ⁴ tn Or “you took note of.” The Hebrew verb פָּקַד (paqad) in the Qal implies evaluating something and then acting in light of that judgment; here the prophet depicts Judah as approving of her youthful unfaithfulness and then magnifying it at the present time. Some translations assume the verb should be repointed as a Niphal, rendering “you missed” or by extension “you longed for,” but such an extension of the Niphal “to be missing” is otherwise unattested.

[23:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “when (they) did,” but the verb makes no sense here and is better emended to “when (they) fondled,” a verb used in vv. 3 and 8. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:43.

[23:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “for the sake of,” but the expression is awkward and is better emended to read “to squeeze.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:43.

[27:32]  ⁷ tn As it stands, the meaning of the Hebrew text is unclear. The translation follows the suggestion of M. Dahood, “Accadian-Ugaritic dmt in Ezekiel 27:32,” Bib 45 (1964): 83-84. Several other explanations and emendations have been offered. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:83, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:85-86, for a list of options.

[42:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “fifty cubits” (i.e., 26.25 meters).

[42:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “one hundred cubits” (i.e., 52.5 meters).
