Ezekiel 27:6

27:6 They made your oars from oaks of Bashan;

they made your deck ¹  with cypresses ²  from the Kittean isles. ³ 

Ezekiel 16:45

16:45 You are the daughter of your mother, who detested her husband and her sons, and you are the sister of your sisters who detested their husbands and their sons. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

Ezekiel 22:11

22:11 One ⁴  commits an abominable act with his neighbor’s wife; another obscenely defiles his daughter-in-law; another violates ⁵  his sister – his father’s daughter ⁶  – within you.

Ezekiel 14:20

14:20 Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, they could not save their own son or daughter; they would save only their own lives by their righteousness.

[27:6]  ¹ tn Or “hull.”

[27:6]  ² tc The Hebrew reads “Your deck they made ivory, daughter of Assyria.” The syntactically difficult “ivory” is understood here as dittography and omitted, though some construe this to refer to ivory inlays. “Daughter of Assyria” is understood here as improper word division and the vowels repointed as “cypresses.”

[27:6]  ³ tn Heb “from the coastlands (or islands) of Kittim,” generally understood to be a reference to the island of Cyprus, where the Phoenicians had a trading colony on the southeast coast. Many modern English versions have “Cyprus” (CEV, TEV), “the coastlands of Cyprus” (NASB), “the coasts of Cyprus” (NIV, NRSV), or “the southern coasts of Cyprus” (NLT).

[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.
