[10:6]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:6]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (the man dressed in linen) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:6]  ³ tn Heb “the wheel.”

[24:18]  ¹ tn This may refer to the following morning. For a discussion of various interpretive options in understanding the chronology reflected in verse 18, see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:790.

[37:7]  ¹ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

[12:7]  ¹ tn The words “my baggage” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied from the context.

[38:7]  ¹ tn The second person singular verbal and pronominal forms in the Hebrew text indicate that Gog is addressed here.

[23:23]  ¹ sn Pekod was the name of an Aramean tribe (known as Puqudu in Mesopotamian texts) that lived in the region of the Tigris River.

[36:27]  ¹ tn Or “in the midst of you.” The word “you” is plural.

[36:27]  ² 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]  ³ tn Heb “and my laws you will guard and you will do them.” Jer 31:31-34 is parallel to this passage.

[22:12]  ³ tn The second person verb forms are feminine singular in Hebrew, indicating that the personified city is addressed here as representing its citizens.
