[7:6]  ¹ tn Or “has come.”

[7:6]  ² tn Or “has come.”

[7:6]  ³ 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]  ⁴ 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.

[10:10]  ⁵ tn Or “like a wheel at right angles to another wheel.” Some envision concentric wheels here, while others propose “a globe-like structure in which two wheels stand at right angles” (L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 1:33-34). See also 1:16.

[34:25]  ⁶ tn The phrase “live securely” occurs in Ezek 28:26; 38:8, 11, 14; 39:26 as an expression of freedom from fear. It is a promised blessing resulting from obedience (see Lev 26:5-6).

[34:25]  ⁷ sn The woods were typically considered to be places of danger (Ps 104:20-21; Jer 5:6).

[48:2]  ⁸ sn The tribes descended from Jacob’s maidservants are placed farthest from the sanctuary. See Gen 30.

[48:7]  ⁹ sn The tribe from which the Davidic prince would come is given the most prestigious allotment (see Gen 49:8-12).
