Boundaries for the Land

47:13 This is what the sovereign Lord says: “Here ²⁵  are the borders ²⁶  you will observe as you allot the land to the twelve tribes of Israel. (Joseph will have two portions.) ²⁷ 

[1:20]  ¹ tn Or “wind”; the same Hebrew word can be translated as either “wind” or “spirit” depending on the context.

[1:20]  ² tc The MT adds the additional phrase “the spirit would go,” which seems unduly redundant here and may be dittographic.

[1:20]  ³ tn Or “wind.” The Hebrew is difficult since the text presents four creatures and then talks about “the spirit” (singular) of “the living being” (singular). According to M. Greenberg (Ezekiel [AB], 1:45) the Targum interprets this as “will.” Greenberg views this as the spirit of the one enthroned above the creatures, but one would not expect the article when the one enthroned has not yet been introduced.

[10:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “each one”; the referent (the cherubim) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:14]  ⁵ sn The living creature described here is thus slightly different from the one described in Ezek 1:10, where a bull’s face appeared instead of a cherub’s. Note that some English versions harmonize the two descriptions and read the same here as in 1:10 (cf. NAB, NLT “an ox”; TEV, CEV “a bull”). This may be justified based on v. 22, which states the creatures’ appearance was the same.

[18:3]  ⁶ tn This expression occurs often in Ezekiel (5:11; 14:16, 18, 20; 16:48; 17:16, 19; 20:3, 31, 33; 33:11, 27; 34:8; 35:6, 11).

[21:23]  ⁷ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the people in Jerusalem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:23]  ⁸ sn When the people of Judah realized the Babylonians’ intentions, they would object on grounds that they had made a treaty with the Babylonian king (see 17:13).

[21:23]  ⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king of Babylon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:23]  ¹⁰ tn Or “iniquity.”

[21:23]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and he will remind of guilt for the purpose of being captured.” The king would counter their objections by pointing out that they had violated their treaty with him (see 17:18).

[32:13]  ¹² tn Heb “muddy.”

[32:13]  ¹³ tn Heb “them,” that is, the waters mentioned in the previous line. The translation clarifies the referent.

[33:32]  ¹⁴ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

[33:32]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “one who makes playing music well.”

[33:32]  ¹⁶ sn Similar responses are found in Isa 29:13; Matt 21:28-32; James 1:22-25.

[38:9]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “go up.”

[41:15]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “one hundred cubits” (i.e., 52.5 meters).

[41:15]  ¹⁹ tc Some Hebrew mss read “and its outer court.”

[43:2]  ²⁰ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

[43:2]  ²¹ sn This same title appears in 8:4; 9:3; 10:19; and 11:22.

[43:2]  ²² sn Earlier Ezekiel had observed God leaving the temple to the east (11:23).

[43:2]  ²³ sn See Ezek 1:24; Rev 1:15; 14:2; 19:6.

[43:2]  ²⁴ tn Heb “shone from.”

[47:13]  ²⁵ tc This translation follows the reading זֶה (zeh) instead of גֵּה (geh), a nonexistent word, as supported by the LXX.

[47:13]  ²⁶ tn Or “territory”; see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:715.

[47:13]  ²⁷ tc The grammar is awkward, though the presence of these words is supported by the versions. L. C. Allen (Ezekiel [WBC], 2:274) suggests that it is an explanatory gloss.

[47:13]  sn One portion for Ephraim, the other for Manasseh (Gen 48:17-20).
