Yehezkiel 16:29

16:29 Then you multiplied your promiscuity to the land of merchants, Babylonia, ¹  but you were not satisfied there either.

Yehezkiel 27:33

27:33 When your products went out from the seas,

you satisfied many peoples;

with the abundance of your wealth and merchandise

you enriched the kings of the earth.

Yehezkiel 35:13

35:13 You exalted yourselves against me with your speech ²  and hurled many insults against me ³  – I have heard them all!

Yehezkiel 38:6

38:6 They are joined by ⁴  Gomer with all its troops, and by Beth Togarmah from the remote parts of the north with all its troops – many peoples are with you. ⁵ 

[16:29]  ¹ tn Heb “Chaldea.” The name of the tribal group ruling Babylon (“Chaldeans”) and the territory from which they originated (“Chaldea”) is used as metonymy for the whole empire of Babylon.

[35:13]  ² tn Heb “your mouth.”

[35:13]  ³ tn Heb “and you multiplied against me your words.” The Hebrew verb occurs only here and in Prov 27:6, where it refers to the “excessive” kisses of an enemy. The basic idea of the verb appears to be “to be abundant.” Here it occurs in the causative (Hiphil) stem.

[38:6]  ⁴ tn The words “they are joined by” are added in the translation for purposes of English style.

[38:6]  ⁵ sn The seven-nation coalition represents the north (Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, Beth-Togarmah), the south/west (Ethiopia, Put) and the east (Persia). The use of the sevenfold list suggests completeness. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:441.
