[19:9]  ¹ tn Or “They put him in a neck stock with hooks.” The noun סּוּגַר (sugar), translated “collar,” occurs only here in the Bible. L. C. Allen and D. I. Block point out a Babylonian cognate that refers to a device for transporting prisoners of war that held them by their necks (D. I. Block, Ezekiel [NICOT], 1:597, n. 35; L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 1:284). Based on the Hebrew root, the traditional rendering had been “cage” (cf. ASV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[19:9]  ² tc The term in the MT occurs only here and in Eccl 9:12 where it refers to a net for catching fish. The LXX translates this as “prison,” which assumes a confusion of dalet and resh took place in the MT.

[20:22]  ³ tn Heb “drew my hand back.” This idiom also occurs in Lam 2:8 and Ps 74:11.

[22:30]  ⁴ tn Heb “I did not find.”

[36:27]  ⁵ tn Or “in the midst of you.” The word “you” is plural.

[36:27]  ⁶ tn Heb “and I will do that which in my statutes you will walk.” The awkward syntax (verb “to do, act” + accusative sign + relative clause + prepositional phrase + second person verb) is unique, though Eccl 3:14 contains a similar construction. In the last line of that verse we read that “God acts so that (relative pronoun) they fear before him.” However, unlike Ezek 36:27, the statement has no accusative sign before the relative pronoun.

[36:27]  ⁷ tn Heb “and my laws you will guard and you will do them.” Jer 31:31-34 is parallel to this passage.

[38:11]  ⁸ tn Heb “go up against.”

[38:11]  ⁹ tn Heb “come (to).”

[39:25]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “cause to return.”
