Ezekiel 4:5

4:5 I have determined that the number of the years of their iniquity are to be the number of days ¹  for you – 390 days. ²  So bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. ³ 

Ezekiel 4:8

4:8 Look here, I will tie you up with ropes, so you cannot turn from one side to the other until you complete the days of your siege. ⁴ 

[4:5]  ¹ tn Heb “I have assigned for you that the years of their iniquity be the number of days.” Num 14:33-34 is an example of the reverse, where the days were converted into years, the number of days spying out the land becoming the number of years of the wilderness wanderings.

[4:5]  ² tc The LXX reads “190 days.”

[4:5]  ³ tn Or “When you have carried the iniquity of the house of Israel,” and continuing on to the next verse.

[4:8]  ⁴ sn The action surely refers to a series of daily acts rather than to a continuous period.
