Ezekiel 10:19

10:19 The cherubim spread ¹  their wings, and they rose up from the earth ²  while I watched (when they went the wheels went alongside them). They stopped at the entrance to the east gate of the Lord’s temple as the glory of the God of Israel hovered above them.

Ezekiel 11:15-16

11:15 “Son of man, your brothers, ³  your relatives, ⁴  and the whole house of Israel, all of them are those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem ⁵  have said, ‘They have gone ⁶  far away from the Lord; to us this land has been given as a possession.’

11:16 “Therefore say: ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Although I have removed them far away among the nations and have dispersed them among the countries, I have been a little ⁷  sanctuary for them among the lands where they have gone.’

Ezekiel 14:22

14:22 Yet some survivors will be left in it, sons and daughters who will be brought out. They will come out to you, and when you see their behavior and their deeds, you will be consoled about the catastrophe I have brought on Jerusalem – for everything I brought on it.

Ezekiel 20:8

20:8 But they rebelled against me, and refused to listen to me; no one got rid of their detestable idols, ⁸  nor did they abandon the idols of Egypt. Then I decided to pour out ⁹  my rage on them and fully vent my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

Ezekiel 32:27

32:27 They do not lie with the fallen warriors of ancient times, ¹⁰  who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, having their swords placed under their heads and their shields on their bones, ¹¹  when the terror of these warriors was in the land of the living.

Ezekiel 33:30

33:30 “But as for you, son of man, your people ¹²  (who are talking about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses) say to one another, ¹³  ‘Come hear the word that comes ¹⁴  from the Lord.’

¹ tn Heb “lifted.”

² tn Or “the ground” (NIV, NCV).

³ tc The MT reads “your brothers, your brothers” either for empahsis (D. I. Block, Ezekiel [NICOT], 1:341, n. 1; 346) or as a result of dittography.

⁴ tc The MT reads גְאֻלָּתֶךָ (gÿ’ullatekha, “your redemption-men”), referring to the relatives responsible for deliverance in times of hardship (see Lev 25:25-55). The LXX and Syriac read “your fellow exiles,” assuming an underlying Hebrew text of גָלוּתֶךָ (galutekha) or having read the א (aleph) as an internal mater lectionis for holem.

⁵ map For location see Map5-B1; Map6-F3; Map7-E2; Map8-F2; Map10-B3; JP1-F4; JP2-F4; JP3-F4; JP4-F4.

⁶ tc The MT has an imperative form (“go far!”), but it may be read with different vowels as a perfect verb (“they have gone far”).

⁵ tn Or “have been partially a sanctuary”; others take this as temporal (cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV “a little while”).

⁷ tn Heb “each one, the detestable things of their eyes did not throw away.”

⁸ tn Heb “and I said/thought to pour out.”

⁹ tc Heb “of the uncircumcised.” The LXX reads, probably correctly, “from of old” rather than “of the uncircumcised.” The phrases are very similar in spelling. The warriors of Meshech-Tubal are described as uncircumcised, so it would be odd for them to not be buried with the uncircumcised. Verse 28 specifically says that they would lie with the uncircumcised.

¹⁰ tn Heb “and their iniquities were over their bones.” The meaning of this statement is unclear; in light of the parallelism (see “swords”) it is preferable to emend “their iniquities” to “their swords.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:135.

¹¹ tn Heb “sons of your people.”

¹² tn Heb “one to one, a man to his brother.”

¹³ tn Heb “comes out.”
