Ezekiel 37:24

37:24 “‘My servant David will be king over them; there will be one shepherd for all of them. They will follow ¹²  my regulations and carefully observe my statutes. ¹³ 

[1:12]  ¹ tn See the note on “straight ahead” in v. 9.

[1:12]  ² tn Or “wind.”

[10:11]  ³ sn That is, the cherubim.

[10:11]  ⁴ tn Many interpreters assume that the human face of each cherub was the one that looked forward.

[1:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “They each went in the direction of one of his faces.”

[1:20]  ⁷ tn Or “wind”; the same Hebrew word can be translated as either “wind” or “spirit” depending on the context.

[1:20]  ⁸ tc The MT adds the additional phrase “the spirit would go,” which seems unduly redundant here and may be dittographic.

[1:20]  ⁹ tn Or “wind.” The Hebrew is difficult since the text presents four creatures and then talks about “the spirit” (singular) of “the living being” (singular). According to M. Greenberg (Ezekiel [AB], 1:45) the Targum interprets this as “will.” Greenberg views this as the spirit of the one enthroned above the creatures, but one would not expect the article when the one enthroned has not yet been introduced.

[1:21]  ⁹ tc The LXX reads “when it went, they went; when it stood, they stood.”

[10:16]  ¹¹ tn Heb “lifted.”

[11:20]  ¹³ sn The expression They will be my people, and I will be their God occurs as a promise to Abraham (Gen 17:8), Moses (Exod 6:7), and the nation (Exod 29:45).

[37:24]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “walk [in].”

[37:24]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and my statutes they will guard and they will do them.”
