[1:16]  ¹ tc This word is omitted from the LXX.

[1:16]  ² tn Heb “Tarshish stone.” The meaning of this term is uncertain. The term has also been translated “topaz” (NEB); “beryl” (KJV, NASB, NRSV); or “chrysolite” (RSV, NIV).

[1:16]  ³ tn Or “like a wheel at right angles to another wheel.” Some envision concentric wheels here, while others propose “a globe-like structure in which two wheels stand at right angles” (L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 1:33-34). The description given in v. 17 favors the latter idea.

[6:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “the one who is left, the one who is spared.”

[10:11]  ⁸ tn Many interpreters assume that the human face of each cherub was the one that looked forward.

[46:5]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “a hin of oil.” A hin was about 1/16 of a bath. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:266, and O. R. Sellers, “Weights,” IDB 4:835 g.

[47:3]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “one thousand cubits” (i.e., 525 meters); this phrase occurs three times in the next two verses.
