Ezekiel 1:28

1:28 like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds after the rain. ¹  This was the appearance of the surrounding brilliant light; it looked like the glory of the Lord. When I saw ²  it, I threw myself face down, and I heard a voice speaking.

Ezekiel 9:8

9:8 While they were striking them down, I was left alone, and I threw myself face down and cried out, “Ah, sovereign Lord! Will you destroy the entire remnant of Israel when you pour out your fury on Jerusalem?”

Ezekiel 11:13

11:13 Now, while I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I threw myself face down and cried out with a loud voice, “Alas, sovereign Lord! You are completely wiping out the remnant of Israel!” ³

29:5 I will leave you in the wilderness,

you and all the fish of your waterways;

Ezekiel 33:27

33:27 “This is what you must say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, those living in the ruins will die ⁷  by the sword, those in the open field I will give to the wild beasts for food, and those who are in the strongholds and caves will die of disease.

Ezekiel 38:20

38:20 The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the wild beasts, all the things that creep on the ground, and all people who live on the face of the earth will shake ⁸  at my presence. The mountains will topple, the cliffs ⁹  will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground.

Ezekiel 39:23

Ezekiel 40:44

40:44 On the outside of the inner gate were chambers for the singers of the inner court, one ¹¹  at the side of the north gate facing south, and the other at the side of the south ¹²  gate facing north.

Ezekiel 43:3

43:3 It was like the vision I saw when he ¹⁶  came to destroy the city, and the vision I saw by the Kebar River. I threw myself face down.

Ezekiel 47:1

Water from the Temple

47:1 Then he brought me back to the entrance of the temple. I noticed ¹⁷  that water was flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was flowing down from under the right side of the temple, from south of the altar.

[1:28]  ¹ sn Reference to the glowing substance and the brilliant light and storm phenomena in vv. 27-28a echoes in reverse order the occurrence of these phenomena in v. 4.

[1:28]  ² tn The vision closes with the repetition of the verb “I saw” from the beginning of the vision in 1:4.

[11:13]  ³ tc The LXX reads this statement as a question. Compare this to the question in 9:8. It is possible that the interrogative particle has been omitted by haplography. However, an exclamatory statement as in the MT also makes sense and the LXX may have simply tried to harmonize this passage with 9:8.

[16:5]  ⁵ sn These verbs, “pity” and “spare,” echo the judgment oracles in 5:11; 7:4, 9; 8:18; 9:5, 10.

[16:5]  ⁶ sn A similar concept is found in Deut 32:10.

[29:5]  ⁷ tc Some Hebrew mss, the Targum, and the LXX read “buried.”

[33:27]  ⁹ tn Heb “fall.”

[38:20]  ¹¹ tn Or “tremble.”

[38:20]  ¹² tn The term occurs only here and in Song of Songs 2:14.

[39:23]  ¹³ tn Or “in their punishment.” The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity/punishment” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here; 3:18, 19; 4:17; 7:13, 16; 18: 17, 18, 19, 20; 24:23; 33:6, 8, 9. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment” for iniquity or “guilt” of iniquity.

[40:44]  ¹⁵ tn “One” is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied for clarity in the translation.

[40:44]  ¹⁶ tc This reading is supported by the LXX; the MT reads “east.”

[41:12]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “seventy cubits” (36.75 meters).

[41:12]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

[41:12]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “ninety cubits” (i.e., 47.25 meters).

[43:3]  ¹⁹ tc Heb “I.” The reading is due to the confusion of yod (י, indicating a first person pronoun) and vav (ו, indicating a third person pronoun). A few medieval Hebrew mss, Theodotion’s Greek version, and the Latin Vulgate support a third person pronoun here.

[47:1]  ²¹ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.
