Yehezkiel 8:11

Yehezkiel 16:5

16:5 No eye took pity on you to do even one of these things for you to spare you; ³  you were thrown out into the open field ⁴  because you were detested on the day you were born.

Yehezkiel 41:22

41:22 The altar was of wood, 5¼ feet ⁵  high, with its length 3½ feet; ⁶  its corners, its length, ⁷  and its walls were of wood. He said to me, “This is the table that is before the Lord.”

[8:11]  ¹ sn Note the contrast between these seventy men who represented Israel and the seventy elders who ate the covenant meal before God, inaugurating the covenant relationship (Exod 24:1, 9).

[8:11]  ² tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT.

[16:5]  ³ sn These verbs, “pity” and “spare,” echo the judgment oracles in 5:11; 7:4, 9; 8:18; 9:5, 10.

[16:5]  ⁴ sn A similar concept is found in Deut 32:10.

[41:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “three cubits” (i.e., 1.575 meters).

[41:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “two cubits” (i.e., 1.05 meters).

[41:22]  ⁷ tc So the Masoretic text. The LXX reads “base.”
