Ezekiel 1:8

1:8 They had human hands ¹  under their wings on their four sides. As for the faces and wings of the four of them,

Ezekiel 4:11

4:11 And you must drink water by measure, a pint and a half; ²  you must drink it at fixed times.

Ezekiel 4:17

4:17 because they will lack bread and water. Each one will be terrified, and they will rot for their iniquity. ³ 

Ezekiel 10:10

10:10 As for their appearance, all four of them looked the same, something like a wheel within a wheel. ⁴ 

¹ tc The MT reads “his hand” while many Hebrew mss as well as the Qere read “hands of.” Two similar Hebrew letters, vav and yod, have been confused.

² sn A pint and a half [Heb “one-sixth of a hin”]. One-sixth of a hin was a quantity of liquid equal to about 1.3 pints or 0.6 liters.

³ tn Or “in their punishment.” Ezek 4:16-17 alludes to Lev 26:26, 39. The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here, 3:18, 19; 7:13, 16; 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.”

⁴ 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.
