¹ sn This phrase occurs about fifty times in the book of Ezekiel.

² tn Or “pride.”

³ tn This probably refers to King Zedekiah.

⁴ tc The MT reads “that is not cleansed”; the LXX reads “that is not drenched,” which assumes a different vowel pointing as well as the loss of a מ (mem) due to haplography. In light of the following reference to showers, the reading of the LXX certainly fits the context well. For a defense of the emendation, see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:32. Yet the MT is not an unreasonable reading since uncleanness in the land also fits the context, and a poetic connection between rain and the land being uncleansed may be feasible since washing with water is elsewhere associated with cleansing (Num 8:7; 31:23; Ps 51:7).

⁵ tn Heb “in a day of anger.”

⁵ tn Heb “to make the ears hear.”
