2 tn Heb “the man.”
3 tn Heb “does.”
4 tn The wording and the concept is contained in Lev 18:5 and Deut 30:15-19.
5 tn Or “permitted.”
6 tn The Hebrew term חֻקּוֹת (khuqot; translated “statutes” elsewhere in this chapter) is normally feminine. Here Ezekiel changes the form to masculine: חֻקִּים (khuqim).
