33:30 “But as for you, son of man, your people 1 (who are talking about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses) say to one another, 2 ‘Come hear the word that comes 3 from the Lord.’
1 tn Heb “sons of your people.”
2 tn Heb “one to one, a man to his brother.”
3 tn Heb “comes out.”
4 tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters) according to the “long” cubit. See the note on the first occurrence of the phrase “10½ feet” in v. 5.
7 tc The Hebrew is difficult here. The Targum envisions a winding ramp or set of stairs, which entails reading the first word as a noun rather than a verb and reading the second word also not as a verb, supposing that an initial mem has been read as vav and nun. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:549.
8 tn The Hebrew term occurs only here in the OT.
