Yehezkiel 21:22

21:22 Into his right hand ¹  comes the portent for Jerusalem – to set up battering rams, to give the signal ²  for slaughter, to shout out the battle cry, ³  to set up battering rams against the gates, to erect a siege ramp, to build a siege wall.

Yehezkiel 26:17

26:17 They will sing this lament over you: ⁴ 

“‘How you have perished – you have vanished ⁵  from the seas,

O renowned city, once mighty in the sea,

she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror! ⁶ 

Yehezkiel 29:18

29:18 “Son of man, King Nebuchadrezzar ⁷  of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre. ⁸  Every head was rubbed bald and every shoulder rubbed bare; yet he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the work he carried out against it.

Yehezkiel 38:4

38:4 I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and bring you out with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them fully armed, a great company with shields of different types, ⁹  all of them armed with swords.

Yehezkiel 44:12

44:12 Because they used to minister to them before their idols, and became a sinful obstacle ¹⁰  to the house of Israel, consequently I have made a vow ¹¹  concerning them, declares the sovereign Lord, that they will be responsible ¹²  for their sin.

[21:22]  ² tn Heb “to open the mouth” for slaughter.

[26:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “and they will lift up over you a lament and they will say to you.”

[26:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “O inhabitant.” The translation follows the LXX and understands a different Hebrew verb, meaning “cease,” behind the consonantal text. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 2:72, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:43.

[26:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “she and her inhabitants who placed their terror to all her inhabitants.” The relationship of the final prepositional phrase to what precedes is unclear. The preposition probably has a specifying function here, drawing attention to Tyre’s inhabitants as the source of the terror mentioned prior to this. In this case, one might paraphrase verse 17b: “she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror; yes, her inhabitants (were the source of this terror).”

[29:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “Nebuchadrezzar” is a variant and more correct spelling of Nebuchadnezzar, as the Babylonian name Nabu-kudurri-usur has an “r” rather than an “n” (so also in v. 19).

[29:18]  ⁸ sn Nebuchadnezzar besieged Tyre from 585 to 571 b.c.
