[5:29]  1 tn Heb “keep” (so KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[45:19]  2 tn Heb “in a place of a land of darkness” (ASV similar); NASB “in some dark land.”

[45:19]  3 tn “In vain” translates תֹהוּ (tohu), used here as an adverbial accusative: “for nothing.”

[45:19]  4 tn The translation above assumes that צֶדֶק (tsedeq) and מֵישָׁרִים (mesharim) are adverbial accusatives (see 33:15). If they are taken as direct objects, indicating the content of what is spoken, one might translate, “who proclaims deliverance, who announces justice.”

[55:6]  5 tn Heb “while he allows himself to be found.” The Niphal form has a tolerative force here.

[55:7]  6 tn Heb “Let the wicked one abandon his way.” The singular is collective.

[55:7]  7 tn Heb “and the man of evil his thoughts.” The singular is collective.

[55:7]  8 tn Heb “let him return.” The singular is collective, meaning “let them.”

[55:7]  9 tn The imperfect with vav (ו) conjunctive after the jussive indicates purpose/result.

[55:7]  10 sn The appeal and promise of vv. 6-7 echoes the language of Deut 4:25-31; 30:1-10; and 1 Kgs 8:46-53, all of which anticipate the exile and speak of the prerequisites for restoration.

[33:31]  11 tn Heb “as people come.” Apparently this is an idiom indicating that they come in crowds. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:264.

[33:31]  12 tn The word “as” is supplied in the translation.

[33:31]  13 tn Heb “do.”

[33:31]  14 tn Heb “They do lust with their mouths.”

[33:31]  15 tn Heb “goes after.”

[33:31]  16 tn The present translation understands the term often used for “unjust gain” in a wider sense, following M. Greenberg, who also notes that the LXX uses a term which can describe either sexual or ritual pollution. See M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:687.

[7:7]  17 sn The three present imperatives in this verse (Ask…seek…knock) are probably intended to call for a repeated or continual approach before God.

[7:7]  18 tn Grk “it”; the referent (a door) is implied by the context and has been specified in the translation here and in v. 8 for clarity.
