Konteks40:2 By means of divine visions 1 he brought me to the land of Israel and placed me on a very high mountain, 2 and on it was a structure like a city, to the south.
Yehezkiel 17:3
Konteks17:3 Say to them: ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: 3
“‘A great eagle 4 with broad wings, long feathers, 5
with full plumage which was multi-hued, 6
came to Lebanon 7 and took the top of the cedar.
[40:2] 1 tn The expression introduces the three major visions of Ezekiel (1:1; 8:3; 40:2).
[40:2] 2 tn The reference to a very high mountain is harmonious with Isa 2:2.
[17:3] 3 tn The parable assumes the defection of Zedekiah to Egypt and his rejection of Babylonian lordship.
[17:3] 4 sn The great eagle symbolizes Nebuchadnezzar (17:12).
[17:3] 5 tn Hebrew has two words for wings; it is unknown whether they are fully synonymous or whether one term distinguishes a particular part of the wing such as the wing coverts (nearest the shoulder), secondaries (mid-feathers of the wing) or primaries (last and longest section of the wing).
[17:3] 6 tn This term was used in 16:10, 13, and 18 of embroidered cloth.
[17:3] 7 sn In the parable Lebanon apparently refers to Jerusalem (17:12).
