25:15 “This is what the sovereign Lord says: ‘The Philistines ⁸  have exacted merciless revenge, ⁹  showing intense scorn ¹⁰  in their effort to destroy Judah ¹¹  with unrelenting hostility. ¹²

Ezekiel 43:7

43:7 He said to me: “Son of man, this is the place of my throne ¹⁷  and the place for the soles of my feet, ¹⁸  where I will live among the people of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no longer profane my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their spiritual prostitution or by the pillars of their kings set up when they die. ¹⁹ 

[37:26]  ¹ sn See Isa 24:5; 55:3; 61:8; Jer 32:40; 50:5; Ezek 16:60, for other references to perpetual covenants.

[37:26]  ² tn Heb “give them.”

[16:60]  ³ tn Or “eternal.”

[37:28]  ⁵ sn The sanctuary of Israel becomes the main focus of Ezek 40-48.

[26:20]  ⁷ tn Heb “to the people of antiquity.”

[26:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “like.” The translation assumes an emendation of the preposition כְּ (kÿ, “like”), to בְּ (bÿ, “in, among”).

[26:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “and I will place beauty.” This reading makes little sense; many, following the lead of the LXX, emend the text to read “nor will you stand” with the negative particle before the preceding verb understood by ellipsis; see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:73. D. I. Block (Ezekiel [NICOT], 2:47) offers another alternative, taking the apparent first person verb form as an archaic second feminine form and translating “nor radiate splendor.”

[25:15]  ⁹ sn The Philistines inhabited the coastal plain by the Mediterranean Sea, west of Judah.

[25:15]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “have acted with vengeance and taken vengeance with vengeance.” The repetition emphasizes the degree of vengeance which they exhibited, presumably toward Judah.

[25:15]  ¹¹ tn Heb “with scorn in (the) soul.”

[25:15]  ¹² tn The object is not specified in the Hebrew text, but has been clarified as “Judah” in the translation.

[25:15]  ¹³ tn Heb “to destroy (with) perpetual hostility.” Joel 3:4-8 also speaks of the Philistines taking advantage of the fall of Judah.

[35:5]  ¹¹ tn Or “gave over…to the power of the sword.” This phrase also occurs in Jer 18:21 and Ps 63:10.

[36:2]  ¹³ tn Or “high places.”

[46:14]  ¹⁵ tc Two medieval Hebrew mss, the LXX, the Syriac, and the Vulgate read the verb as third person singular.

[46:14]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “a hin of oil.” A hin was about 1/16 of a bath. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:266, and O. R. Sellers, “Weights,” IDB 4:835 g.

[43:7]  ¹⁷ sn God’s throne is mentioned in Isa 6:1; Jer 3:17.

[43:7]  ¹⁸ sn See 1 Chr 28:2; Ps 99:5; 132:7; Isa 60:13; Lam 2:1.

[43:7]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “by their corpses in their death.” But the term normally translated “corpses” is better understood here as a reference to funeral pillars or funerary offerings. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:583-85, and L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:257.
