Ezekiel 11:1

The Fall of Jerusalem

11:1 A wind ¹  lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the Lord’s temple that faces the east. There, at the entrance of the gate, I noticed twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, officials of the people. ² 

Ezekiel 13:14

13:14 I will break down the wall you coated with whitewash and knock it to the ground so that its foundation is exposed. When it falls you will be destroyed beneath it, ³  and you will know that I am the Lord.

Ezekiel 28:25

28:25 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: When I regather the house of Israel from the peoples where they are dispersed, I will reveal my sovereign power ⁴  over them in the sight of the nations, and they will live in their land that I gave to my servant Jacob.

Ezekiel 32:27

32:27 They do not lie with the fallen warriors of ancient times, ⁵  who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, having their swords placed under their heads and their shields on their bones, ⁶  when the terror of these warriors was in the land of the living.

Ezekiel 36:3

36:3 So prophesy and say: ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Surely because they have made you desolate and crushed you from all directions, so that you have become the property of the rest of the nations, and have become the subject of gossip ⁷  and slander among the people,

Ezekiel 48:1

The Tribal Portions

48:1 “These are the names of the tribes: From the northern end beside the road of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath, as far as Hazar-enan (which is on the border of Damascus, toward the north beside Hamath), extending from the east side to the west, Dan will have one portion.

Ezekiel 48:13

48:13 “Alongside the border of the priests, the Levites will have an allotment eight and a quarter miles ⁸  in length and three and one-third miles ⁹  in width. The whole length will be eight and a quarter miles ¹⁰  and the width three and one-third miles. ¹¹ 

¹ tn Or “spirit.” See note on “wind” in 2:2.

² sn The phrase officials of the people occurs in Neh 11:1; 1 Chr 21:2; 2 Chr 24:23.

³ tn Or “within it,” referring to the city of Jerusalem.

⁵ tn Or “reveal my holiness.” See verse 22.

⁷ 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.

⁸ 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.

⁹ tn Heb “lip of the tongue.”

¹¹ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).

¹² tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).

¹³ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).

¹⁴ tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).
