[1:8]  ¹ tc The MT reads “his hand” while many Hebrew mss as well as the Qere read “hands of.” Two similar Hebrew letters, vav and yod, have been confused.

[1:13]  ² tc The MT reads “and the form of the creatures” (וּדְמוּת הַחַיּוֹת, udÿmut hakhayyot). The LXX reads “and in the midst of the creatures,” suggesting an underlying Hebrew text of וּמִתּוֹךְ הַחַיּוֹת (umittokh hakhayyot). The subsequent description of something moving among the creatures supports the LXX.

[1:13]  ³ tc The MT reads “and the form of the creatures – their appearance was like burning coals of fire.” The LXX reads “in the midst of the creatures was a sight like burning coals of fire.” The MT may have adjusted “appearance” to “their appearance” to fit their reading of the beginning of the verse (see the tc note on “in the middle”). See M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 1:46.

[1:13]  ⁴ sn Burning coals of fire are also a part of David’s poetic description of God’s appearance (see 2 Sam 22:9, 13; Ps 18:8).

[1:23]  ⁵ tc Heb “each had two wings covering and each had two wings covering,” a case of dittography. On the analogy of v. 11 and the support of the LXX, which reads the same for v. 11 and this verse, one should perhaps read “each had two wings touching another being and each had two wings covering.”

[7:24]  ⁶ sn Or “their holy places” (KJV, ASV, NASB, NCV, NRSV).

[10:1]  ⁷ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

[10:1]  ⁸ tn Or “like a dome.” See 1:22-26.

[19:3]  ⁹ tn Heb “a man.”

[21:23]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the people in Jerusalem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:23]  ¹¹ 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]  ¹² tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king of Babylon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:23]  ¹³ tn Or “iniquity.”

[21:23]  ¹⁴ 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).

[21:32]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “your blood will be in the middle of the land.”

[22:25]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “a conspiracy of her prophets is in her midst.” The LXX reads “whose princes” rather than “a conspiracy of prophets.” The prophets are mentioned later in the paragraph (v. 28). If one follows the LXX in verse 25, then five distinct groups are mentioned in vv. 25-29: princes, priests, officials, prophets, and the people of the land. For a defense of the Septuagintal reading, see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:32, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:720, n. 4.

[22:25]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “her widows they have multiplied.” The statement alludes to their murderous acts.

[23:47]  ¹⁸ tn The Hebrew text adds “with fire.”

[26:12]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “desirable.”

[26:12]  ²⁰ tn Heb “set.”

[26:12]  ²¹ tn Heb “into the midst of the water.”

[31:6]  ²² tn Or “many.”

[41:25]  ²³ tn Or “railings.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:218.
