4:5 I have determined that the number of the years of their iniquity are to be the number of days ¹  for you – 390 days. ²  So bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. ³ 

Ezekiel 15:4

15:4 No! ⁴  It is thrown in the fire for fuel; when the fire has burned up both ends of it and it is charred in the middle, will it be useful for anything?

Ezekiel 35:10

35:10 “‘You said, “These two nations, these two lands ⁵  will be mine, and we will possess them,” ⁶  – although the Lord was there –

¹ tn Heb “I have assigned for you that the years of their iniquity be the number of days.” Num 14:33-34 is an example of the reverse, where the days were converted into years, the number of days spying out the land becoming the number of years of the wilderness wanderings.

² tc The LXX reads “190 days.”

³ tn Or “When you have carried the iniquity of the house of Israel,” and continuing on to the next verse.

⁴ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) draws one’s attention to something. Sometimes it may be translated as a verb of perception; here it is treated as a particle that fits the context (so also in v. 5, but with a different English word).

⁷ sn The reference is to Israel and Judah.

⁸ tn Heb “it.”
