Ezekiel 48:15

¹ tn Heb “placed.”

² tn Heb “in its midst.”

³ tn Heb “she/it.” See v. 3.

⁴ tc Many of the versions read “I will bring you out” (active) rather than “he brought out” (the reading of MT).

⁵ tn The Hebrew text does not have the negative particle, but it is implied. The negative particle in the previous line does double duty here.

⁹ tn Or “within it,” referring to the city of Jerusalem.

¹³ sn Traditionally this has been understood as a reference to the biblical Daniel, though he was still quite young when Ezekiel prophesied. One wonders if he had developed a reputation as an intercessor by this point. For this reason some prefer to see a reference to a ruler named Danel, known in Canaanite legend for his justice and wisdom. In this case all three of the individuals named would be non-Israelites, however the Ugaritic Danel is not known to have qualities of faith in the Lord that would place him in the company of the other men. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:447-50.

¹⁷ tn Heb “her time”; this refers to the time of impending judgment (see the note on “doom” in v. 4).

²¹ tn Heb “set it upon its coals, empty.”

²² tn Or “rust” (so also in v. 12).

²⁵ tn Heb “into it”; the referent of the feminine pronoun has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²⁶ tn Heb “by a sword against it.”

²⁹ tn Heb “five thousand cubits” (i.e., 2.625 kilometers).

³⁰ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).
