[8:3]  ¹ tn The Hebrew term is normally used as an architectural term in describing the pattern of the tabernacle or temple or a representation of it (see Exod 25:8; 1 Chr 28:11).

[8:3]  ² tn Or “spirit.” See note on “wind” in 2:2.

[8:3]  ⁴ tn Or “image.”

[17:22]  ⁵ sn The language is analogous to messianic imagery in Isa 11:1; Zech 3:8; 6:4 although the technical terminology is not the same.

[17:22]  ⁶ tc The LXX lacks “and plant it.”

[27:27]  ⁷ tn Heb “your repairers of damage.” See v. 9.

[28:16]  ⁸ tn Heb “they filled your midst with violence.”

[28:16]  ⁹ tn Heb “I defiled you.” The presence of the preposition “from” following the verb indicates that a verb of motion is implied as well. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:91.

[28:16]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and I expelled you, O guardian cherub.” The Hebrew text takes the verb as first person and understands “guardian cherub” as a vocative, in apposition to the pronominal suffix on the verb. However, if the emendation in verse 14a is accepted (see the note above), then one may follow the LXX here as well and emend the verb to a third person perfect. In this case the subject of the verb is the guardian cherub. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:91.

[29:18]  ¹¹ tn Heb “Nebuchadrezzar” is a variant and more correct spelling of Nebuchadnezzar, as the Babylonian name Nabu-kudurri-usur has an “r” rather than an “n” (so also in v. 19).

[29:18]  ¹² sn Nebuchadnezzar besieged Tyre from 585 to 571 b.c.

[32:2]  ¹³ tn The lion was a figure of royalty (Ezek 19:1-9).

[32:2]  ¹⁴ tc The Hebrew reads “their streams”; the LXX reads “your streams.”

[38:13]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “young lions.”

[38:20]  ¹⁶ tn Or “tremble.”

[38:20]  ¹⁷ tn The term occurs only here and in Song of Songs 2:14.

[41:8]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “reed.”

[41:8]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “six cubits” (i.e., 3.15 meters).
