[1:18]  1 tc The MT reads וְיִרְאָה לָהֶם (vÿyirah lahem, “and fear belonged to them”). In a similar vision in 10:12 the wheels are described as having spokes (יִדֵיהֶם, yideyhem). That parallel would suggest יָדוֹת (yadot) here (written יָדֹת without the mater). By positing both a ד/ר (dalet/resh) confusion and a ת/ה (hey/khet) confusion the form was read as וְיָרֵה (vÿyareh) and was then misunderstood and subsequently written as וְיִרְאָה (vÿyirah) in the MT. The reading וְיִרְאָה does not seem to fit the context well, though in English it can be made to sound as if it does. See W. H. Brownlee, Ezekiel 1-19 (WBC), 8-9. The LXX reads καὶ εἶδον αὐτά (kai eidon auta, “and I saw”), which assumes וָאֵרֶא (vaere’). The existing consonants of the MT may also be read as “it was visible to them.”

[10:12]  2 tc The phrase “along with their entire bodies” is absent from the LXX and may be a gloss explaining the following words.

[42:16]  3 tn Heb “reed” (also in the following verses).

[42:16]  4 tn Heb “five hundred cubits” (i.e., 262.5 meters).

[48:35]  4 tn Heb “eighteen thousand cubits” (i.e., 9.45 kilometers).

[48:35]  5 sn See Rev 21:12-21.
