[5:13]  ¹ tn Or “calm myself.”

[5:13]  ² tn The Hebrew noun translated “jealousy” is used in the human realm to describe suspicion of adultery (Num 5:14ff.; Prov 6:34). Since Israel’s relationship with God was often compared to a marriage this term is appropriate here. The term occurs elsewhere in Ezekiel in 8:3, 5; 16:38, 42; 23:25.

[24:13]  ³ tn Heb “in your uncleanness (is) obscene conduct.”

[24:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “because I cleansed you.” In this context (see especially the very next statement), the statement must refer to divine intention and purpose. Despite God’s efforts to cleanse his people, they resisted him and remained morally impure.

[24:13]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew text adds the word “again.”

[24:27]  ⁶ tn Heb “your mouth will open.”

[28:25]  ⁷ tn Or “reveal my holiness.” See verse 22.

[34:4]  ⁸ tn The term translated “harshness” is used to describe the oppression the Israelites suffered as slaves in Egypt (Exod 1:13).

[36:22]  ⁹ sn In Ezek 20:22 God refrained from punishment for the sake of his holy name. Here God’s reputation is the basis for Israel’s restoration.

[40:4]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and set your mind on.”

[40:4]  ¹¹ tn Heb “in order to show (it) to you.”
