¹ tc Heb “I ate,” a first common singular preterite plus paragogic he (ה). The ancient versions read “I ate it,” which is certainly the meaning in the context, and indicates they read the he as a third feminine singular pronominal suffix. The Masoretes typically wrote a mappiq in the he for the pronominal suffix but apparently missed this one.

² sn I will stretch out my hand against them is a common expression in the book of Ezekiel (14:9, 13; 16:27; 25:7; 35:3).

³ tc The Vulgate reads the name as “Riblah,” a city north of Damascus. The MT reads Diblah, a city otherwise unknown. The letters resh (ר) and dalet (ד) may have been confused in the Hebrew text. The town of Riblah was in the land of Hamath (2 Kgs 23:33) which represented the northern border of Israel (Ezek 47:14).

³ sn I will be their God. See Exod 6:7; Lev 26:12; Jer 7:23; 11:4.

⁴ sn The phrase another great eagle refers to Pharaoh Hophra.

⁵ tn Heb “their way on their head I have placed.”

⁶ tn Heb “I will put fear in the land of Egypt.”

⁷ tn Or “spirit,” and several times in this verse.

⁸ tn Heb “men of perpetuity.”

⁹ tn Heb “and bury the travelers and those who remain on the surface of the ground.” The reference to “travelers” seems odd and is omitted in the LXX. It is probably an accidental duplication (see v. 11).

⁹ sn The homer was about 5 bushels as a dry measure and 55 gallons as a liquid measure.

¹⁰ tn Heb “two rivers,” perhaps under the influence of Zech 14:8. The translation follows the LXX and other ancient versions in reading the singular, which is demanded by the context (see vv. 5-7, 9b, 12).

¹¹ tn Heb “will be healed.”
