Yehezkiel 20:8
Konteks20:8 But they rebelled against me, and refused to listen to me; no one got rid of their detestable idols, 1 nor did they abandon the idols of Egypt. Then I decided to pour out 2 my rage on them and fully vent my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
Yehezkiel 44:17
Konteks44:17 “‘When they enter the gates of the inner court, they must wear linen garments; they must not have any wool on them when they minister in the inner gates of the court and in the temple.
Yehezkiel 45:1
Konteks45:1 “‘When you allot the land as an inheritance, you will offer an allotment 3 to the Lord, a holy portion from the land; the length will be eight and a quarter miles 4 and the width three and one-third miles. 5 This entire area will be holy. 6
[20:8] 1 tn Heb “each one, the detestable things of their eyes did not throw away.”
[20:8] 2 tn Heb “and I said/thought to pour out.”
[45:1] 3 tn Heb “a contribution.”
[45:1] 4 tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers). The measuring units here are the Hebrew “long” cubit, consisting of a cubit (about 18 inches or 45 cm) and a handbreadth (about 3 inches or 7.5 cm), for a total of 21 inches (52.5 cm). Because modern readers are not familiar with the cubit as a unit of measurement, and due to the additional complication of the “long” cubit as opposed to the regular cubit, all measurements have been converted to American standard miles (one mile = 5,280 feet), with the Hebrew measurements and the metric equivalents given in the notes.
[45:1] 5 tc The LXX reads “twenty thousand cubits.”
[45:1] tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).
[45:1] 6 tn Heb “holy it is in all its territory round about.”
