Ezekiel 4:9

4:9 “As for you, take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, ¹  put them in a single container, and make food ²  from them for yourself. For the same number of days that you lie on your side – 390 days ³  – you will eat it.

Ezekiel 16:63

16:63 Then you will remember, be ashamed, and remain silent ⁴  when I make atonement for all you have done, ⁵  declares the sovereign Lord.’”

Ezekiel 21:29

21:29 while seeing false visions for you

and reading lying omens for you ⁶  –

to place that sword ⁷  on the necks of the profane wicked, ⁸ 

whose day has come,

the time of final punishment.

[4:9]  ¹ sn Wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt. All these foods were common in Mesopotamia where Ezekiel was exiled.

[4:9]  ² tn Heb “bread.”

[4:9]  ³ tc The LXX reads “190 days.”

[16:63]  ⁴ tn Heb “and your mouth will not be open any longer.”

[16:63]  ⁵ tn Heb “when I make atonement for you for all which you have done.”

[21:29]  ⁷ tn Heb “in the seeing concerning you falsehood, in divining concerning you a lie.” This probably refers to the attempts of the Ammonites to ward off judgment through prophetic visions and divination.

[21:29]  ⁸ tn Heb “you”; the referent (the sword mentioned in v. 28) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:29]  ⁹ sn The second half of the verse appears to state that the sword of judgment would fall upon the wicked, despite their efforts to prevent it.
