Ezekiel 22:6

22:6 “‘See how each of the princes of Israel living within you has used his authority to shed blood.

Ezekiel 38:3

38:3 and say: ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Look, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.

tn Heb “Look! The princes of Israel, each according to his arm, were in you in order to shed blood.”

tn Or “I challenge you.” The phrase “I am against you” may be a formula for challenging someone to combat or a duel. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:201-2, and P. Humbert, “Die Herausforderungsformel ‘h!nn#n' ?l?K>,’” ZAW 45 (1933): 101-8.
