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 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 

Yehezkiel 39:20

39:20 You will fill up at my table with horses and charioteers, ⁶  with warriors and all the soldiers,’ declares the sovereign Lord.

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.

[21:22]  ¹ tn Or “on the right side,” i.e., the omen mark on the right side of the liver.

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

[21:22]  ³ tn Heb “to raise up a voice in a battle cry.”

[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.

[39:20]  ⁶ tn Heb “chariots.”

[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.
