¹ tn The literal role of a watchman is described in 2 Sam 18:24; 2 Kgs 9:17.

² tn Heb “and your mouth will not be open any longer.”

³ tn Heb “when I make atonement for you for all which you have done.”

³ tn Heb “place it on his head.”

⁴ tn Or “set apart my Sabbaths.”

⁵ tn Heb “and they will become a sign between me and you.”

⁵ tn Heb “The sons of Babel came to her on a bed of love.”

⁶ tn Heb “her soul.”

⁶ tn The Hebrew consonantal text (Kethib) has “by your hand,” but the marginal reading (Qere) has simply “by the hand.” The LXX reads “with their hand.”

⁷ tn Or perhaps “dislocated.”

⁸ tn Heb “you caused to stand for them all their hips.” An emendation which switches two letters but is supported by the LXX yields the reading “you caused all their hips to shake.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:103. In 2 Kgs 18:21 and Isa 36:6 trusting in the Pharaoh is compared to leaning on a staff. The oracle may reflect Hophra’s attempt to aid Jerusalem (Jer 37:5-8).

⁷ tn Heb “his blood will be on him.”

⁸ tn Heb “one hundred cubits” (i.e., 52.5 meters).
