Ezekiel 19:8

19:8 The nations – the surrounding regions – attacked him.

They threw their net over him; he was caught in their pit.

Ezekiel 23:42

23:42 The sound of a carefree crowd accompanied her, ¹  including all kinds of men; ²  even Sabeans ³  were brought from the desert. The sisters ⁴  put bracelets on their wrists and beautiful crowns on their heads.

Ezekiel 32:27

32:27 They do not lie with the fallen warriors of ancient times, ⁵  who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, having their swords placed under their heads and their shields on their bones, ⁶  when the terror of these warriors was in the land of the living.

Ezekiel 20:28

20:28 I brought them to the land which I swore ⁷  to give them, but whenever they saw any high hill or leafy tree, they offered their sacrifices there and presented the offerings that provoke me to anger. They offered their soothing aroma there and poured out their drink offerings.

[23:42]  ¹ tn Heb “(was) in her.”

[23:42]  ² tn Heb “and men from the multitude of mankind.”

[23:42]  ³ tn An alternate reading is “drunkards.” Sheba is located in the area of modern day Yemen.

[23:42]  ⁴ tn Heb “they”; the referents (the sisters) have been specified in the translation for the sake of clarity.

[32:27]  ¹ tc Heb “of the uncircumcised.” The LXX reads, probably correctly, “from of old” rather than “of the uncircumcised.” The phrases are very similar in spelling. The warriors of Meshech-Tubal are described as uncircumcised, so it would be odd for them to not be buried with the uncircumcised. Verse 28 specifically says that they would lie with the uncircumcised.

[32:27]  ² tn Heb “and their iniquities were over their bones.” The meaning of this statement is unclear; in light of the parallelism (see “swords”) it is preferable to emend “their iniquities” to “their swords.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:135.

[20:28]  ¹ tn Heb “which I lifted up my hand.”
