[27:12]  ¹ sn Tarshish refers to a distant seaport sometimes believed to be located in southern Spain (others identified it as Carthage in North Africa). In any event it represents here a distant, rich, and exotic port which was a trading partner of Tyre.

[7:19]  ² tn The Hebrew term can refer to menstrual impurity. The term also occurs at the end of v. 20.

[7:19]  ³ sn Compare Zeph 1:18.

[7:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “it.” Apparently the subject is the silver and gold mentioned earlier (see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 1:102).

[7:19]  ⁵ tn The “stumbling block of their iniquity” is a unique phrase of the prophet Ezekiel (Ezek 14:3, 4, 7; 18:30; 44:12).

[16:17]  ³ tn Or perhaps “and worshiped them,” if the word “prostitution” is understood in a figurative rather than a literal sense (cf. CEV, NLT).

[22:18]  ⁴ tn For similar imagery, see Isa 1:21-26; Jer 6:27-30.

[22:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “I will put.” No object is supplied in the Hebrew, prompting many to emend the text to “I will blow.” See BHS and verse 21.

[38:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “young lions.”
