[13:10]  ¹ tn Or “peace.”

[13:10]  ² tn The Hebrew word only occurs here in the Bible. According to L. C. Allen (Ezekiel [WBC], 1:202-3) it is also used in the Mishnah of a wall of rough stones without mortar. This fits the context here comparing the false prophetic messages to a nice coat of whitewash on a structurally unstable wall.

[14:3]  ³ tn Heb “the stumbling block of their iniquity.” This phrase is unique to the prophet Ezekiel.

[14:3]  ⁴ tn Or “I will not reveal myself to them.” The Hebrew word is used in a technical sense here of seeking an oracle from a prophet (2 Kgs 1:16; 3:11; 8:8).

[20:12]  ⁵ sn Ezekiel’s contemporary, Jeremiah, also stressed the importance of obedience to the Sabbath law (Jer 17).

[20:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “to become a sign between me and them.”

[20:12]  ⁷ tn Or “set them apart.” The last phrase of verse 12 appears to be a citation of Exod 31:13.

[20:43]  ⁸ tn Heb “ways.”

[20:43]  ⁹ tn Heb “loathe yourselves in your faces.”

[21:23]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the people in Jerusalem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:23]  ¹¹ sn When the people of Judah realized the Babylonians’ intentions, they would object on grounds that they had made a treaty with the Babylonian king (see 17:13).

[21:23]  ¹² tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king of Babylon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:23]  ¹³ tn Or “iniquity.”

[21:23]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and he will remind of guilt for the purpose of being captured.” The king would counter their objections by pointing out that they had violated their treaty with him (see 17:18).

[21:32]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “your blood will be in the middle of the land.”

[23:10]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “name.”

[25:15]  ¹⁷ sn The Philistines inhabited the coastal plain by the Mediterranean Sea, west of Judah.

[25:15]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “have acted with vengeance and taken vengeance with vengeance.” The repetition emphasizes the degree of vengeance which they exhibited, presumably toward Judah.

[25:15]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “with scorn in (the) soul.”

[25:15]  ²⁰ tn The object is not specified in the Hebrew text, but has been clarified as “Judah” in the translation.

[25:15]  ²¹ tn Heb “to destroy (with) perpetual hostility.” Joel 3:4-8 also speaks of the Philistines taking advantage of the fall of Judah.

[32:23]  ²² tn Heb “whose.”

[32:23]  ²³ tn The only other occurrence of the phrase “remote slopes of the pit” is in Isa 14:15.
