45:1 “‘When you allot the land as an inheritance, you will offer an allotment ²³  to the Lord, a holy portion from the land; the length will be eight and a quarter miles ²⁴  and the width three and one-third miles. ²⁵  This entire area will be holy. ²⁶ 

Ezekiel 47:12

[10:19]  ¹ tn Heb “lifted.”

[10:19]  ² tn Or “the ground” (NIV, NCV).

[12:3]  ³ tn Heb “see.” This plays on the uses of “see” in v. 2. They will see his actions with their eyes and perhaps they will “see” with their mind, that is, understand or grasp the point.

[12:7]  ⁵ tn The words “my baggage” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied from the context.

[12:23]  ⁷ tn Heb “the days draw near and the word of every vision (draws near).”

[18:24]  ⁹ tn Heb “because of them he will die.”

[20:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and I said/thought to pour out.”

[20:13]  ¹² tn Heb “to bring them to an end.”

[20:21]  ¹³ tn Heb “sons.”

[20:21]  ¹⁴ tn Or “carries them out.”

[20:21]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and I said/thought to pour out.”

[20:31]  ¹⁵ tn Or “gifts.”

[20:31]  ¹⁶ tn Or “Will I reveal myself to you?”

[20:31]  ¹⁷ tn Or “I will not reveal myself to you.”

[26:20]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “to the people of antiquity.”

[26:20]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “like.” The translation assumes an emendation of the preposition כְּ (kÿ, “like”), to בְּ (bÿ, “in, among”).

[26:20]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and I will place beauty.” This reading makes little sense; many, following the lead of the LXX, emend the text to read “nor will you stand” with the negative particle before the preceding verb understood by ellipsis; see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:73. D. I. Block (Ezekiel [NICOT], 2:47) offers another alternative, taking the apparent first person verb form as an archaic second feminine form and translating “nor radiate splendor.”

[33:8]  ¹⁹ tn The same expression occurs in Gen 2:17.

[33:8]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and you do not speak to warn.”

[33:8]  ²¹ tn Heb “way.”

[33:8]  ²² tn Heb “and his blood from your hand I will seek.”

[33:27]  ²¹ tn Heb “fall.”

[45:1]  ²³ tn Heb “a contribution.”

[45:1]  ²⁴ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers). The measuring units here are the Hebrew “long” cubit, consisting of a cubit (about 18 inches or 45 cm) and a handbreadth (about 3 inches or 7.5 cm), for a total of 21 inches (52.5 cm). Because modern readers are not familiar with the cubit as a unit of measurement, and due to the additional complication of the “long” cubit as opposed to the regular cubit, all measurements have been converted to American standard miles (one mile = 5,280 feet), with the Hebrew measurements and the metric equivalents given in the notes.

[45:1]  ²⁵ tc The LXX reads “twenty thousand cubits.”

[45:1]  ²⁶ tn Heb “holy it is in all its territory round about.”

[47:12]  ²⁵ sn See Rev 22:1-2.
