Yehezkiel 24:10

24:10 Pile up the bones, kindle the fire;

cook the meat well, mix in the spices,

let the bones be charred.

Yehezkiel 41:5

41:5 Then he measured the wall of the temple ¹  as 10½ feet, ²  and the width of the side chambers as 7 feet, ³  all around the temple.

Yehezkiel 41:9

41:9 The width of the outer wall of the side chambers was 8¾ feet, ⁴  and the open area between the side chambers of the temple

Yehezkiel 23:14

23:14 But she increased her prostitution. She saw men carved on the wall, images of the Chaldeans carved in bright red, ⁵ 

Yehezkiel 16:7

16:7 I made you plentiful like sprouts in a field; you grew tall and came of age so that you could wear jewelry. Your breasts had formed and your hair had grown, but you were still naked and bare.

Yehezkiel 16:43

16:43 “‘Because you did not remember the days of your youth and have enraged me with all these deeds, I hereby repay you for what you have done, ⁶  declares the sovereign Lord. Have you not engaged in prostitution on top of all your other abominable practices?

Yehezkiel 41:11

41:11 There were entrances from the side chambers toward the open area, one entrance toward the north, and another entrance toward the south; the width of the open area was 8¾ feet ⁷  all around.

Yehezkiel 5:16

5:16 I will shoot against them deadly, ⁸  destructive ⁹  arrows of famine, ¹⁰  which I will shoot to destroy you. ¹¹  I will prolong a famine on you and will remove the bread supply. ¹² 

Yehezkiel 41:7

41:7 The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story; ¹³  for the structure ¹⁴  surrounding the temple went up story by story all around the temple. For this reason the width of the temple increased as it went up, and one went up from the lowest story to the highest by the way of the middle story.

Yehezkiel 41:14

41:14 and also the width of the front of the temple and the courtyard on the east as 175 feet. ¹⁵ 

Yehezkiel 18:8

18:8 does not engage in usury or charge interest, ¹⁶  but refrains ¹⁷  from wrongdoing, promotes true justice ¹⁸  between men,

Yehezkiel 24:4

24:4 add the pieces of meat to it,

every good piece,

the thigh and the shoulder;

fill it with choice bones.

Yehezkiel 41:13

41:13 Then he measured the temple as 175 feet ¹⁹  long, the courtyard of the temple and the building and its walls as 175 feet ²⁰  long,

Yehezkiel 18:13

18:13 engages in usury and charges interest. Will he live? He will not! Because he has done all these abominable deeds he will certainly die. ²¹  He will bear the responsibility for his own death. ²² 

Yehezkiel 22:12

22:12 They take bribes within you to shed blood. You engage in usury and charge interest; ²³  you extort money from your neighbors. You have forgotten me, ²⁴  declares the sovereign Lord. ²⁵ 

Yehezkiel 18:17

18:17 refrains from wrongdoing, ²⁶  does not engage in usury or charge interest, carries out my regulations and follows my statutes. He will not die for his father’s iniquity; ²⁷  he will surely live.

Yehezkiel 27:10

27:10 Men of Persia, Lud, ²⁸  and Put were in your army, men of war.

They hung shield and helmet on you; they gave you your splendor.

Yehezkiel 11:6

11:6 You have killed many people in this city; you have filled its streets with corpses.’

Yehezkiel 36:11

36:11 I will increase the number of people and animals on you; they will increase and be fruitful. ²⁹  I will cause you to be inhabited as in ancient times, and will do more good for you than at the beginning of your history. ³⁰  Then you will know that I am the Lord.

Yehezkiel 8:13

8:13 He said to me, “You will see them practicing even greater abominations!”

Yehezkiel 16:26

16:26 You engaged in prostitution with the Egyptians, your sexually aroused neighbors, ³¹  multiplying your promiscuity and provoking me to anger.

Yehezkiel 40:38

40:38 There was a chamber with its door by the porch of the gate; ³²  there they washed the burnt offering.

Yehezkiel 21:15

21:15 So hearts melt with fear and many stumble.

At all their gates I have stationed the sword for slaughter.

Ah! It is made to flash, it is drawn for slaughter!

Yehezkiel 28:5

28:5 By your great skill ³³  in trade you have increased your wealth,

and your heart is proud because of your wealth.

Yehezkiel 23:40

23:40 “They even sent for men from far away; when the messenger arrived, those men set out. ³⁴  For them you bathed, ³⁵  painted your eyes, and decorated yourself with jewelry.

Yehezkiel 3:10

3:10 And he said to me, “Son of man, take all my words that I speak to you to heart and listen carefully.

Yehezkiel 16:14

16:14 Your fame ³⁶  spread among the nations because of your beauty; your beauty was perfect because of the splendor which I bestowed on you, declares the sovereign Lord. ³⁷ 

Yehezkiel 16:25

16:25 At the head of every street you erected your pavilion and you disgraced ³⁸  your beauty when you spread ³⁹  your legs to every passerby and multiplied your promiscuity.

Yehezkiel 24:5

24:5 Take the choice bone of the flock,

heap up bones under it;

boil rapidly,

and boil its bones in it.

Yehezkiel 32:9

32:9 I will disturb ⁴⁰  many peoples,

when I bring about your destruction among the nations,

among countries you do not know.

Yehezkiel 36:10

36:10 I will multiply your people ⁴¹  – the whole house of Israel, all of it. The cities will be populated and the ruins rebuilt.

Yehezkiel 7:26

7:26 Disaster after disaster will come, and one rumor after another. They will seek a vision from a prophet; priestly instruction will disappear, along with counsel from the elders.

Yehezkiel 41:6

41:6 The side chambers were in three stories, one above the other, thirty in each story. There were offsets in the wall all around to serve as supports for the side chambers, so that the supports were not in the wall of the temple.

Yehezkiel 1:23

1:23 Under the platform their wings were stretched out, each toward the other. Each of the beings also had two wings covering ⁴²  its body.

Yehezkiel 19:11

19:11 Its boughs were strong, fit ⁴³  for rulers’ scepters; it reached up into the clouds.

It stood out because of its height and its many branches. ⁴⁴ 

Yehezkiel 22:25

22:25 Her princes ⁴⁵  within her are like a roaring lion tearing its prey; they have devoured lives. They take away riches and valuable things; they have made many women widows ⁴⁶  within it.

Yehezkiel 23:42

23:42 The sound of a carefree crowd accompanied her, ⁴⁷  including all kinds of men; ⁴⁸  even Sabeans ⁴⁹  were brought from the desert. The sisters ⁵⁰  put bracelets on their wrists and beautiful crowns on their heads.

Yehezkiel 27:11

27:11 The Arvadites ⁵¹  joined your army on your walls all around,

and the Gammadites ⁵²  were in your towers.

They hung their quivers ⁵³  on your walls all around;

they perfected your beauty.

Yehezkiel 36:29-30

36:29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and multiply it; I will not bring a famine on you. 36:30 I will multiply the fruit of the trees and the produce of the fields, so that you will never again suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations.

Yehezkiel 36:37

36:37 “This is what the sovereign Lord says: I will allow the house of Israel to ask me to do this for them: ⁵⁴  I will multiply their people like sheep. ⁵⁵ 

Yehezkiel 45:2

45:2 Of this area a square 875 feet ⁵⁶  by 875 feet will be designated for the sanctuary, with 87½ feet ⁵⁷  set aside for its open space round about.

Yehezkiel 21:29

21:29 while seeing false visions for you

and reading lying omens for you ⁵⁸  –

to place that sword ⁵⁹  on the necks of the profane wicked, ⁶⁰ 

whose day has come,

the time of final punishment.

Yehezkiel 37:26

37:26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be a perpetual covenant with them. ⁶¹  I will establish them, ⁶²  increase their numbers, and place my sanctuary among them forever.

Yehezkiel 40:42

40:42 The four tables for the burnt offering were of carved stone, 32 inches ⁶³  long, 32 inches ⁶⁴  wide, and 21 inches ⁶⁵  high. They would put the instruments which they used to slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice on them.

Yehezkiel 41:8

41:8 I saw that the temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full measuring stick ⁶⁶  of 10½ feet ⁶⁷  high.

Yehezkiel 22:26

22:26 Her priests abuse my law and have desecrated my holy things. They do not distinguish between the holy and the profane, ⁶⁸  or recognize any distinction between the unclean and the clean. They ignore ⁶⁹  my Sabbaths and I am profaned in their midst.

Yehezkiel 44:7

44:7 When you bring foreigners, those uncircumcised in heart and in flesh, into my sanctuary, you desecrate ⁷⁰  it – even my house – when you offer my food, the fat and the blood. You ⁷¹  have broken my covenant by all your abominable practices.

[41:5]  ¹ tn Heb “house” throughout Ezek 41.

[41:5]  ² tn Heb “six cubits” (i.e., 3.15 meters).

[41:5]  ³ tn Heb “four cubits” (2.1 meters).

[41:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

[23:14]  ⁵ tn The only other occurrence of the Hebrew term is in Jer 22:14.

[16:43]  ⁶ tn Heb “your way on (your) head I have placed.”

[41:11]  ⁷ tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

[5:16]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew word carries the basic idea of “bad, displeasing, injurious,” but when used of weapons has the nuance “deadly” (see Ps 144:10).

[5:16]  ⁹ tn Heb “which are/were to destroy.”

[5:16]  ¹⁰ tn The language of this verse may have been influenced by Deut 32:23.

[5:16]  ¹¹ tn Or “which were to destroy those whom I will send to destroy you” (cf. NASB).

[5:16]  ¹² tn Heb, “break the staff of bread.” The bread supply is compared to a staff that one uses for support. See 4:16, as well as the covenant curse in Lev 26:26.

[41:7]  ¹³ tc The Hebrew is difficult here. The Targum envisions a winding ramp or set of stairs, which entails reading the first word as a noun rather than a verb and reading the second word also not as a verb, supposing that an initial mem has been read as vav and nun. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:549.

[41:7]  ¹⁴ tn The Hebrew term occurs only here in the OT.

[41:14]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “one hundred cubits” (i.e., 52.5 meters).

[18:8]  ¹⁶ sn This law was given in Lev 25:36.

[18:8]  ¹⁷ tn Heb, “turns back his hand.”

[18:8]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “justice of truth.”

[41:13]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “one hundred cubits” (i.e., 52.5 meters).

[41:13]  ²⁰ tn Heb “one hundred cubits” (i.e., 52.5 meters).

[18:13]  ²¹ tn Heb “be put to death.” The translation follows an alternative reading that appears in several ancient textual witnesses.

[18:13]  ²² tn Heb “his blood will be upon him.”

[22:12]  ²³ tn Heb “usury and interest you take.” See 18:13, 17. This kind of economic exploitation violated the law given in Lev 25:36.

[22:12]  ²⁴ sn Forgetting the Lord is also addressed in Deut 6:12; 8:11, 14; Jer 3:21; 13:25; Ezek 23:35; Hos 2:15; 8:14; 13:6.

[22:12]  ²⁵ tn The second person verb forms are feminine singular in Hebrew, indicating that the personified city is addressed here as representing its citizens.

[18:17]  ²⁶ tc This translation follows the LXX. The MT reads “restrains his hand from the poor,” which makes no sense here.

[18:17]  ²⁷ tn Or “in his father’s punishment.” The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity/punishment” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here and in vv. 18, 19, 20; 3:18, 19; 4:17; 7:13, 16; 24:23; 33:6, 8, 9; 39:23. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment for iniquity.”

[27:10]  ²⁸ sn See Gen 10:22.

[36:11]  ²⁹ sn These verbs occur together in Gen 1:22, 28; 9:1.

[36:11]  ³⁰ tn Heb “your beginning.”

[16:26]  ³¹ tn Heb “your neighbors, large of flesh.” The word “flesh” is used here of the genitals. It may simply refer to the size of their genitals in general, or, as the translation suggests, depicts them as sexually aroused.

[40:38]  ³² tc The MT reads “jambs of the gates” which does not make sense in a context discussing one chamber. The emendation to “porch” is similar to v. 14. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:530.

[28:5]  ³³ tn Or “wisdom.”

[23:40]  ³⁴ tn Heb “to whom a messenger was sent, and look, they came.” Foreign alliances are in view here.

[23:40]  ³⁵ tn The Hebrew verb form is feminine singular, indicating that Oholibah (Judah) is specifically addressed here. This address continues through verse 42a (note “her”), but then both sisters are described in verse 42b, where the feminine pronouns are again plural.

[16:14]  ³⁶ tn Heb “name.”

[16:14]  ³⁷ sn The description of the nation Israel in vv. 10-14 recalls the splendor of the nation’s golden age under King Solomon.

[16:25]  ³⁸ tn Heb “treated as if abominable,” i.e., repudiated.

[16:25]  ³⁹ tn The only other occurrence of the Hebrew root is found in Prov 13:3 in reference to the talkative person who habitually “opens wide” his lips.

[32:9]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “I will provoke the heart of.”

[36:10]  ⁴¹ tn Heb “I will multiply on you human(s).”

[1:23]  ⁴² tc Heb “each had two wings covering and each had two wings covering,” a case of dittography. On the analogy of v. 11 and the support of the LXX, which reads the same for v. 11 and this verse, one should perhaps read “each had two wings touching another being and each had two wings covering.”

[19:11]  ⁴³ tn The word “fit” does not occur in the Hebrew text.

[19:11]  ⁴⁴ tn Heb “and it was seen by its height and by the abundance of its branches.”

[22:25]  ⁴⁵ tn Heb “a conspiracy of her prophets is in her midst.” The LXX reads “whose princes” rather than “a conspiracy of prophets.” The prophets are mentioned later in the paragraph (v. 28). If one follows the LXX in verse 25, then five distinct groups are mentioned in vv. 25-29: princes, priests, officials, prophets, and the people of the land. For a defense of the Septuagintal reading, see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:32, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:720, n. 4.

[22:25]  ⁴⁶ tn Heb “her widows they have multiplied.” The statement alludes to their murderous acts.

[23:42]  ⁴⁷ tn Heb “(was) in her.”

[23:42]  ⁴⁸ tn Heb “and men from the multitude of mankind.”

[23:42]  ⁴⁹ tn An alternate reading is “drunkards.” Sheba is located in the area of modern day Yemen.

[23:42]  ⁵⁰ tn Heb “they”; the referents (the sisters) have been specified in the translation for the sake of clarity.

[27:11]  ⁵¹ tn Heb “sons of Arvad.”

[27:11]  ⁵² sn The identity of the Gammadites is uncertain.

[27:11]  ⁵³ tn See note on “quivers” in Jer 51:11 on the meaning of Hebrew שֶׁלֶט (shelet) and also M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:553.

[36:37]  ⁵⁴ tn The Niphal verb may have a tolerative function here, “Again (for) this I will allow myself to be sought by the house of Israel to act for them.” Or it may be reflexive: “I will reveal myself to the house of Israel by doing this also.”

[36:37]  ⁵⁵ sn Heb “I will multiply them like sheep, human(s).”

[45:2]  ⁵⁶ tn Heb “five hundred cubits” (i.e., 262.5 meters); the phrase occurs twice in this verse.

[45:2]  ⁵⁷ tn Heb “fifty cubits” (i.e., 26.25 meters).

[21:29]  ⁵⁸ tn Heb “in the seeing concerning you falsehood, in divining concerning you a lie.” This probably refers to the attempts of the Ammonites to ward off judgment through prophetic visions and divination.

[21:29]  ⁵⁹ tn Heb “you”; the referent (the sword mentioned in v. 28) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:29]  ⁶⁰ sn The second half of the verse appears to state that the sword of judgment would fall upon the wicked, despite their efforts to prevent it.

[37:26]  ⁶¹ sn See Isa 24:5; 55:3; 61:8; Jer 32:40; 50:5; Ezek 16:60, for other references to perpetual covenants.

[37:26]  ⁶² tn Heb “give them.”

[40:42]  ⁶³ tn Heb “one and a half cubits” (i.e., 78.75 cm).

[40:42]  ⁶⁴ tn Heb “one and a half cubits” (i.e., 78.75 cm).

[40:42]  ⁶⁵ tn Heb “one cubit” (i.e., 52.5 cm).

[41:8]  ⁶⁶ tn Heb “reed.”

[41:8]  ⁶⁷ tn Heb “six cubits” (i.e., 3.15 meters).

[22:26]  ⁶⁸ tn Or “between the consecrated and the common.”

[22:26]  ⁶⁹ tn Heb “hide their eyes from.” The idiom means to disregard or ignore something or someone (see Lev 20:4; 1 Sam 12:3; Prov 28:27; Isa 1:15).

[44:7]  ⁷⁰ tn Heb “to desecrate.”

[44:7]  ⁷¹ tc The Greek, Syriac, and Latin versions read “you.” The Masoretic text reads “they.”
