¹ tn Verses 17-19 are repeated in Ezek 33:7-9.

² tn Heb “name.”

³ sn The description of the nation Israel in vv. 10-14 recalls the splendor of the nation’s golden age under King Solomon.

³ tc The MT reads לַעֲשׂוֹת אֱמֶת (la’asot ’emet, “to do with integrity”), while the LXX reads “to do them,” presupposing לַעֲשׂוֹת אֹתָם (la’asot ’otam). The ם (mem) and ת (tav) have been reversed in the MT. The LXX refelcts the original, supported by similar phrasing in Ezekiel 11:20; 20:19.

⁴ tn Heb “he.”

⁵ tn Heb “living, he will live.” The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.

⁴ tc This translation follows the LXX. The MT reads “restrains his hand from the poor,” which makes no sense here.

⁵ tn Or “in his father’s punishment.” The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity/punishment” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here and in vv. 18, 19, 20; 3:18, 19; 4:17; 7:13, 16; 24:23; 33:6, 8, 9; 39:23. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment for iniquity.”

⁵ tn The Babylonians were known for their cruelty (2 Kgs 25:7).

⁶ tn The same expression occurs in Gen 2:17.

⁷ tn Heb “and you do not speak to warn.”

⁸ tn Heb “way.”

⁹ tn Heb “and his blood from your hand I will seek.”

⁷ tn Heb “from his way to turn from it.”

⁸ tn Heb “and he does not turn from his way.”

⁸ sn The messianic king is here called “David” (see Jer 30:9 and Hos 3:5, as well as Isa 11:1 and Mic 5:2) because he will fulfill the Davidic royal ideal depicted in the prophets and royal psalms (see Ps 2, 89).

⁹ tn Heb “to eat bread.”

¹⁰ tc The LXX apparently understood “open land” instead of “sanctuary.”

¹¹ tn Heb “five thousand cubits” (i.e., 2.625 kilometers).

¹² tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).
