[39:13]  ¹ tn Heb “name.”

[3:5]  ² tn Heb “deep of lip” (in the sense of incomprehensible).

[3:5]  ³ tn Heb “heavy of tongue.” Similar language occurs in Exod 4:10; Isa 33:19.

[3:5]  ⁴ tn The conjunction “but” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied from the context.

[7:27]  ³ tn Heb “and by their judgments.”

[22:29]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the foreigner they have oppressed without justice.”

[26:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “to the people of antiquity.”

[26:20]  ⁶ tn Heb “like.” The translation assumes an emendation of the preposition כְּ (kÿ, “like”), to בְּ (bÿ, “in, among”).

[26:20]  ⁷ 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.”

[33:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “sons of your people.”

[33:31]  ⁷ tn Heb “as people come.” Apparently this is an idiom indicating that they come in crowds. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:264.

[33:31]  ⁸ tn The word “as” is supplied in the translation.

[33:31]  ⁹ tn Heb “do.”

[33:31]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “They do lust with their mouths.”

[33:31]  ¹¹ tn Heb “goes after.”

[33:31]  ¹² tn The present translation understands the term often used for “unjust gain” in a wider sense, following M. Greenberg, who also notes that the LXX uses a term which can describe either sexual or ritual pollution. See M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:687.

[36:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “lip of the tongue.”

[38:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “to turn your hand against.”

[38:12]  ¹⁰ tn The Hebrew term occurs elsewhere only in Judg 9:37. Perhaps it means “high point, top.”
