Yehezkiel 25:9

25:9 So look, I am about to open up Moab’s flank, ⁴  eliminating the cities, ⁵  including its frontier cities, ⁶  the beauty of the land – Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim.

“‘How you have perished – you have vanished ⁸  from the seas,

O renowned city, once mighty in the sea,

she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror! ⁹ 

Yehezkiel 31:16

31:16 I made the nations shake at the sound of its fall, when I threw it down to Sheol, along with those who descend to the pit. ¹⁰  Then all the trees of Eden, the choicest and the best of Lebanon, all that were well-watered, were comforted in the earth below.

48:13 “Alongside the border of the priests, the Levites will have an allotment eight and a quarter miles ¹⁷  in length and three and one-third miles ¹⁸  in width. The whole length will be eight and a quarter miles ¹⁹  and the width three and one-third miles. ²⁰ 

[7:13]  ¹ tc The translation follows the LXX for the first line of the verse, although the LXX has lost the second line due to homoioteleuton (similar endings of the clauses). The MT reads “The seller will not return to the sale.” This Hebrew reading has been construed as a reference to land redemption, the temporary sale of the use of property, with property rights returned to the seller in the year of Jubilee. But the context has no other indicator that land redemption is in view. If correct, the LXX evidence suggests that one of the cases of “the customer” has been replaced by “the seller” in the MT, perhaps due to hoimoioarcton (similar beginnings of the words).

[7:13]  ² tn The Hebrew word refers to the din or noise made by a crowd, and by extension may refer to the crowd itself.

[7:13]  ³ tn Or “in their punishment.” The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here and in v. 16; 3:18, 19; 4:17; 18:17, 18, 19, 20; 24:23; 33:6, 8, 9; 39:23. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment for iniquity.”

[25:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “shoulder.”

[25:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “from the cities.” The verb “eliminating” has been added in the translation to reflect the privative use of the preposition (see BDB 583 s.v. מִן 7.b).

[25:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “from its cities, from its end.”

[26:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “and they will lift up over you a lament and they will say to you.”

[26:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “O inhabitant.” The translation follows the LXX and understands a different Hebrew verb, meaning “cease,” behind the consonantal text. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 2:72, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:43.

[26:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “she and her inhabitants who placed their terror to all her inhabitants.” The relationship of the final prepositional phrase to what precedes is unclear. The preposition probably has a specifying function here, drawing attention to Tyre’s inhabitants as the source of the terror mentioned prior to this. In this case, one might paraphrase verse 17b: “she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror; yes, her inhabitants (were the source of this terror).”

[31:16]  ¹⁰ sn For the expression “going down to the pit,” see Ezek 26:20; 32:18, 24, 29.

[40:5]  ¹¹ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

[40:5]  ¹² tn Heb “house.”

[40:5]  ¹³ tn Heb “a measuring stick of six cubits, [each] a cubit and a handbreadth.” The measuring units here and in the remainder of this section are the Hebrew “long” cubit, consisting of a cubit (about 18 inches or 45 cm) and a handbreadth (about 3 inches or 7.5 cm), for a total of 21 inches (52.5 cm). Therefore the measuring stick in the man’s hand was 10.5 feet (3.15 meters) long. Because modern readers are not familiar with the cubit as a unit of measurement, and due to the additional complication of the “long” cubit as opposed to the regular cubit, all measurements have been converted to American standard feet and inches, with the Hebrew measurements and the metric equivalents given in the notes.

[40:5]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “building.”

[40:5]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “one rod [or “reed”]” (also a second time in this verse, twice in v. 6, three times in v. 7, and once in v. 8).

[45:25]  ¹⁶ sn That is, the Feast of Temporary Shelters, traditionally known as the Feast of Tabernacles (Exod 23:16; 34:22; Deut 16:16).

[48:13]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).

[48:13]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).

[48:13]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).

[48:13]  ²⁰ tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).
