[1:8]  1 tc The MT reads “his hand” while many Hebrew mss as well as the Qere read “hands of.” Two similar Hebrew letters, vav and yod, have been confused.

[10:10]  2 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). See also 1:16.

[10:12]  3 tc The phrase “along with their entire bodies” is absent from the LXX and may be a gloss explaining the following words.

[1:10]  4 tc The MT has an additional word at the beginning of v. 11, וּפְנֵיהֶם (ufÿnehem, “and their faces”), which is missing from the LXX. As the rest of the verse only applies to wings, “their faces” would have to somehow be understood in the previous clause. But this would be very awkward and is doubly problematic since “their faces” are already introduced as the topic at the beginning of v. 10. The Hebrew scribe appears to have copied the phrase “and their faces and their wings” from v. 8, where it introduces the content of 9-11. Only “and (as for) their wings” belongs here.

[46:22]  5 tc The meaning of the Hebrew term is unclear. The LXX and Syriac render “small.”

[46:22]  6 tn Heb “forty cubits” (i.e., 21 meters).

[46:22]  7 tn Heb “thirty cubits” (i.e., 15.75 meters).
