[36:28] 1 sn This promise reflects the ancient covenantal ideal (see Exod 6:7).
[39:19] 2 sn Eating the fat and drinking blood were God’s exclusive rights in Israelite sacrifices (Lev 3:17).
[39:19] 3 tn Or “sacrifice” (so also in the rest of this verse).
[44:8] 3 tc Instead of an energic nun (ן), the text may have read a third masculine plural suffix ם (mem), “them,” which was confused with ן (nun) in the old script. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:621.
