Once more he measured 1,750 feet and led me through the water, which was waist deep. 47:5 Again he measured 1,750 feet and it was a river I could not cross, for the water had risen; it was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be crossed.

[4:6]  ¹ sn The number 40 may refer in general to the period of Judah’s exile using the number of years Israel was punished in the wilderness. In this case, however, one would need to translate, “you will bear the punishment of the house of Judah.”

[15:7]  ² tn The word translated “set” is the same Hebrew word translated as “provide” in the previous verse.

[15:7]  ³ sn This escape refers to the exile of Ezekiel and others in 597 b.c. (Ezek 1:2; 2 Kgs 24:10-16).

[16:5]  ³ sn These verbs, “pity” and “spare,” echo the judgment oracles in 5:11; 7:4, 9; 8:18; 9:5, 10.

[16:5]  ⁴ sn A similar concept is found in Deut 32:10.

[17:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the member of the royal family, v. 13) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “him”; the referent (the king of Babylon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[33:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “sons of your people.”

[38:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “by the hand of my servants.”

[38:17]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text adds “years” here, but this is probably a scribal gloss on the preceding phrase. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:201.
