¹ 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.

² 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.

⁴ 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 sn Pekod was the name of an Aramean tribe (known as Puqudu in Mesopotamian texts) that lived in the region of the Tigris River.

⁶ sn Shoa was the name of a nomadic people (the Sutu) that lived in Mesopotamia.

⁷ sn Koa was the name of another Mesopotamian people group (the Qutu).

⁹ tn Heb “your repairers of damage.” See v. 9.

¹³ 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).

¹⁴ sn Nebuchadnezzar besieged Tyre from 585 to 571 b.c.

¹⁷ tn Or “he.”

¹⁸ tn Heb “I caused lamentation.” D. I. Block (Ezekiel [NICOT], 2:194-95) proposes an alternative root which would give the meaning “I gated back the waters,” i.e., shut off the water supply.

²¹ tn Heb “young lions.”

²⁵ tn Heb has in addition “from your contributions,” a repetition unnecessary in English.
