23:18 When she lustfully exposed her nakedness, ⁹  I ¹⁰  was disgusted with her, just as I ¹¹  had been disgusted with her sister.

Ezekiel 23:32

23:32 “This is what the sovereign Lord says: “You will drink your sister’s deep and wide cup; ¹²  you will be scorned and derided, for it holds a great deal.

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

[1:23]  ² tc Heb “each had two wings covering and each had two wings covering,” a case of dittography. On the analogy of v. 11 and the support of the LXX, which reads the same for v. 11 and this verse, one should perhaps read “each had two wings touching another being and each had two wings covering.”

[16:51]  ³ tn Or “you have multiplied your abominable deeds beyond them.”

[22:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “a man.”

[22:11]  ⁵ tn The verb is the same one used in verse 10b and suggests forcible sexual violation of the woman.

[22:11]  ⁶ sn Sexual relations with one’s half-sister may be primarily in view here. See Lev 18:9; 20:17.

[23:4]  ⁵ tn The names Oholah and Oholibah are both derived from the word meaning “tent.” The meaning of Oholah is “her tent,” while Oholibah means “my tent is in her.”

[23:4]  ⁶ sn In this allegory the Lord is depicted as being the husband of two wives. The OT law prohibited a man from marrying sisters (Lev 18:18), but the practice is attested in the OT (cf. Jacob). The metaphor is utilized here for illustrative purposes and does not mean that the Lord condoned such a practice or bigamy in general.

[23:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “She exposed her harlotry and she exposed her nakedness.”

[23:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “my soul.”

[23:18]  ⁸ tn Heb “my soul.”

[23:32]  ⁷ sn The image of a deep and wide cup suggests the degree of punishment; it will be extensive and leave the victim helpless.
