Ezekiel 25:7

25:7 take note, I have stretched out my hand against you, and I will hand you over as plunder ¹  to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and make you perish from the lands. I will destroy you; then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

Ezekiel 26:17

26:17 They will sing this lament over you: ² 

“‘How you have perished – you have vanished ³  from the seas,

O renowned city, once mighty in the sea,

she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror! ⁴ 

Ezekiel 32:24

32:24 “Elam is there with all her hordes around her grave; all of them struck down by the sword. They went down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth, those who spread terror in the land of the living. Now they will bear their shame with those who descend to the pit.

Ezekiel 44:30

44:30 The first of all the first fruits and all contributions of any kind ⁵  will be for the priests; you will also give to the priest the first portion of your dough, so that a blessing may rest on your house.

¹ tc The translation here follows the marginal reading (Qere) of the Hebrew text. The consonantal text (Kethib) is meaningless.

² tn Heb “and they will lift up over you a lament and they will say to you.”

³ tn Heb “O inhabitant.” The translation follows the LXX and understands a different Hebrew verb, meaning “cease,” behind the consonantal text. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 2:72, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:43.

⁴ tn Heb “she and her inhabitants who placed their terror to all her inhabitants.” The relationship of the final prepositional phrase to what precedes is unclear. The preposition probably has a specifying function here, drawing attention to Tyre’s inhabitants as the source of the terror mentioned prior to this. In this case, one might paraphrase verse 17b: “she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror; yes, her inhabitants (were the source of this terror).”

³ tn Heb has in addition “from your contributions,” a repetition unnecessary in English.
