Yehezkiel 34:18

[6:2]  ¹ tn Heb “set your face against.” The expression occurs at the beginning of Ezekiel’s prophetic oracles in Ezek 13:17; 20:46; 21:2; 25:2; 28:21; 29:2; 35:2; 38:2.

[6:2]  sn Based on comparison to a similar expression in Ugaritic, the phrase may imply that Ezekiel was to actually go to these locations to deliver his message.

[7:6]  ² tn Or “has come.”

[7:6]  ³ tn Or “has come.”

[7:6]  ⁴ tc With different vowels the verb rendered “it has awakened” would be the noun “the end,” as in “the end is upon you.” The verb would represent a phonetic wordplay. The noun by virtue of repetition would continue to reinforce the idea of the end. Whether verb or noun, this is the only instance to occur with this preposition.

[7:6]  ⁵ tc For this entire verse, the LXX has only “the end is come.”

[7:6]  tn In each of the three cases of the verb translated with forms of “to come,” the form may either be a participle (“comes/is coming”) or a perfect (“has come”). Either form would indicate that the end is soon to arrive. This last form appears also to be feminine, although “end” is masculine. This shift may be looking ahead to the next verse, whose first noun (“Doom”) is feminine.

[7:25]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT. It is interpreted based on a Syriac cognate meaning “to bristle or stiffen (in terror).”

[19:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “lift up.”

[20:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “I lifted up my hand.”

[20:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “seed.”

[20:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “I lifted up my hand.”

[27:2]  ¹¹ tn Heb “lift up over Tyre a lament.”

[34:2]  ¹² tn The term shepherd is applied to kings in the ancient Near East. In the OT the Lord is often addressed as shepherd of Israel (Gen 49:24; Ps 8:1). The imagery of shepherds as Israel’s leaders is also employed (Jer 23:1-2).

[39:17]  ¹³ tn Or “sacrifice” (so also in the rest of this verse).

[48:11]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “strayed off.”
