38:17 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days by my servants 1 the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days 2 that I would bring you against them?
39:9 “‘Then those who live in the cities of Israel will go out and use the weapons for kindling 3 – the shields, 4 bows and arrows, war clubs and spears – they will burn them for seven years.
1 tn Heb “by the hand of my servants.”
2 tn The Hebrew text adds “years” here, but this is probably a scribal gloss on the preceding phrase. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:201.
1 tn Heb “burn and kindle the weapons.”
2 tn Two different types of shields are specified in the Hebrew text.
