Ezekiel 3:8

Ezekiel 23:11

23:11 “Her sister Oholibah watched this, ⁴  but she became more corrupt in her lust than her sister had been, and her acts of prostitution were more numerous than those of her sister.

Ezekiel 23:38

[3:8]  ¹ tn Heb “strong, resolute.”

[20:20]  ² tn Or “set apart my Sabbaths.”

[20:20]  ³ tn Heb “and they will become a sign between me and you.”

[23:11]  ³ tn The word “this” is not in the original text.

[23:38]  ⁴ tn Heb “in that day.”

[36:27]  ⁵ tn Or “in the midst of you.” The word “you” is plural.

[36:27]  ⁶ tn Heb “and I will do that which in my statutes you will walk.” The awkward syntax (verb “to do, act” + accusative sign + relative clause + prepositional phrase + second person verb) is unique, though Eccl 3:14 contains a similar construction. In the last line of that verse we read that “God acts so that (relative pronoun) they fear before him.” However, unlike Ezek 36:27, the statement has no accusative sign before the relative pronoun.

[36:27]  ⁷ tn Heb “and my laws you will guard and you will do them.” Jer 31:31-34 is parallel to this passage.

[44:23]  ⁶ sn This task was a fundamental role of the priest (Lev 10:10).
