[4:11]  ¹ sn A pint and a half [Heb “one-sixth of a hin”]. One-sixth of a hin was a quantity of liquid equal to about 1.3 pints or 0.6 liters.

[4:17]  ² tn Or “in their punishment.” Ezek 4:16-17 alludes to Lev 26:26, 39. The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here, 3:18, 19; 7:13, 16; 18: 17, 18, 19, 20; 24:23; 33:6, 8, 9; 39:23. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment for iniquity.”

[12:18]  ³ tn The Hebrew term normally refers to an earthquake (see 1 Kgs 19:11; Amos 1:1).

[17:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “took of the seed of the land.” For the vine imagery, “seedling” is a better translation, though in its subsequent interpretation the “seed” refers to Zedekiah through its common application to offspring.

[17:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “a field for seed.”

[27:34]  ⁵ tn Heb “fallen.”

[27:34]  ⁶ tn Heb “in the midst of you.”

[32:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “sink,” that is, to settle and become clear, not muddied.

[36:25]  ⁷ sn The Lord here uses a metaphor from the realm of ritual purification. For the use of water in ritual cleansing, see Exod 30:19-20; Lev 14:51; Num 19:18; Heb 10:22.
