[6:6]  ¹ tn The Hebrew verb translated “wiped out” is used to describe the judgment of the Flood (Gen 6:7; 7:4, 23).

[7:4]  ² tn The meaning of the Hebrew term is primarily emotional: “to pity,” which in context implies an action, as in being moved by pity in order to spare them from the horror of their punishment.

[7:4]  ³ tn The pronoun “you” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied.

[7:4]  ⁴ tn “I will set your behavior on your head.”

[7:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “and your abominable practices will be among you.”

[7:9]  ⁶ tn The meaning of the Hebrew term is primarily emotional: “to pity,” which in context implies an action, as in being moved by pity in order to spare them from the horror of their punishment.

[7:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “According to your behavior I will place on you.”

[7:9]  ⁸ tn The MT lacks “you.” It has been added for clarification.

[14:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “proverbs.”

[17:12]  ¹⁰ tn The words “of Israel” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation as a clarification of the referent.

[17:12]  sn The book of Ezekiel frequently refers to the Israelites as a rebellious house (Ezek 2:5, 6, 8; 3:9, 26-27; 12:2-3, 9, 25; 17:12; 24:3).

[17:12]  ¹¹ sn The narrative description of this interpretation of the riddle is given in 2 Kgs 24:11-15.

[18:19]  ¹³ tn Heb “lift up, bear.”

[20:32]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “what comes upon your mind.”

[20:32]  ¹⁵ tn The Hebrew could also read: “Let us be.”

[20:32]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “serving wood and stone.”

[20:32]  sn This verse echoes the content of 1 Sam 8:20.

[20:38]  ¹⁷ tn See the note at 2:3.

[24:21]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the pride of your strength” means “your strong pride.”

[24:21]  ¹⁹ sn Heb “the delight of your eyes.” Just as Ezekiel was deprived of his beloved wife (v. 16, the “desire” of his “eyes”) so the Lord would be forced to remove the object of his devotion, the temple, which symbolized his close relationship to his covenant people.

[24:21]  ²⁰ tn Heb “the object of compassion of your soul.” The accentuation in the traditional Hebrew text indicates that the descriptive phrases (“the source of your confident pride, the object in which your eyes delight, and your life’s passion”) modify the preceding “my sanctuary.”

[24:21]  ²¹ tn Heb “fall.”

[33:10]  ²² tn Heb “(are) upon us.”

[36:27]  ²³ tn Or “in the midst of you.” The word “you” is plural.

[36:27]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and I will do that which in my statutes you will walk.” The awkward syntax (verb “to do, act” + accusative sign + relative clause + prepositional phrase + second person verb) is unique, though Eccl 3:14 contains a similar construction. In the last line of that verse we read that “God acts so that (relative pronoun) they fear before him.” However, unlike Ezek 36:27, the statement has no accusative sign before the relative pronoun.

[36:27]  ²⁵ tn Heb “and my laws you will guard and you will do them.” Jer 31:31-34 is parallel to this passage.

[43:27]  ²⁶ tn Heb “and they will complete the days.”

[43:27]  ²⁷ sn The people also could partake of the food of the peace offering (Lev 3).

[44:30]  ²⁸ tn Heb has in addition “from your contributions,” a repetition unnecessary in English.

[48:20]  ²⁹ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).
