Ezekiel 39:20

39:20 You will fill up at my table with horses and charioteers, ²  with warriors and all the soldiers,’ declares the sovereign Lord.

Ezekiel 17:17

Ezekiel 27:10

Ezekiel 27:27

27:27 Your wealth, products, and merchandise, your sailors and captains,

your ship’s carpenters, ⁵  your merchants,

Ezekiel 32:27

32:27 They do not lie with the fallen warriors of ancient times, ⁶  who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, having their swords placed under their heads and their shields on their bones, ⁷  when the terror of these warriors was in the land of the living.

¹ tn The Hebrew word refers to the din or noise made by a crowd, and by extension may refer to the crowd itself.

² tn Heb “chariots.”

³ tn Heb “deal with” or “work with.”

⁴ sn See Gen 10:22.

⁵ tn Heb “your repairers of damage.” See v. 9.

⁶ tc Heb “of the uncircumcised.” The LXX reads, probably correctly, “from of old” rather than “of the uncircumcised.” The phrases are very similar in spelling. The warriors of Meshech-Tubal are described as uncircumcised, so it would be odd for them to not be buried with the uncircumcised. Verse 28 specifically says that they would lie with the uncircumcised.

⁷ tn Heb “and their iniquities were over their bones.” The meaning of this statement is unclear; in light of the parallelism (see “swords”) it is preferable to emend “their iniquities” to “their swords.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:135.
