40:2 By means of divine visions ⁷  he brought me to the land of Israel and placed me on a very high mountain, ⁸  and on it was a structure like a city, to the south.

[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.”

[13:11]  ² tn Heb “and you, O hailstones.”

[13:11]  ³ sn A violent wind will break out. God’s judgments are frequently described in storm imagery (Pss 18:7-15; 77:17-18; 83:15; Isa 28:17; 30:30; Jer 23:19; 30:23).

[20:1]  ³ sn The date would be August 14th, 591 b.c. The seventh year is the seventh year of Jehoiachin’s exile.

[20:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “men from the elders.”

[20:1]  ⁵ tn See the note at 14:3.

[40:2]  ⁴ tn The expression introduces the three major visions of Ezekiel (1:1; 8:3; 40:2).

[40:2]  ⁵ tn The reference to a very high mountain is harmonious with Isa 2:2.
