Ezekiel 4:9
wheat <02406> [wheat.]
millet <01764> [millet.]
{Dochan,} in Arabic, {dokhn,} the {holcus dochna} of Forskal, is a kind of millet, of considerable use as a food; the cultivation of which is described by Browne.
spelt <03698> [fitches. or, spelt.]
{Kussemim} is doubtless [zea,] or spelt, as Aquila and Symmachus render here; and so LXX. and Theodotion, [olyra.] In times of scarcity it is customary to mix several kinds of coarser grains with the finer, to make it last the longer.
390 <07969> [three.]
Ezekiel 9:2
six <08337> [six.]
upper <05945> [the higher.]
faces <06437> [lieth. Heb. is turned. slaughter weapon. Heb. weapon of his breaking in pieces. and one.]
kit <07083> [ink-horn.]
{Keseth,} (in Chaldee, {kista,} Syriac, {kesto,} Ethiopic, {kasut,}) denotes a bottle, or vessel to hold any fluid; and being here united to {sophair,} a writer, is not improperly rendered as an ink-horn: so one of the editions of Aquila, [melandocheion,] and Vulgate, {atramentarium.} Dr. Shaw informs us, that among the Moors, "the {Hojas,} i.e., writers or secretaries, suspend their ink-horns in their girdles."
side <04975> [by his side. Heb. upon his loins. beside.]
Ezekiel 12:3
pack <06213> [prepare.]
belongings <03627> [stuff. or, instruments.]
By stuff our translators meant furniture or goods, as the word frequently denotes in our early writers; but the original, {keley,} has not only this sense (as in ver. 4,) but is also used for any kind of utensils or instruments whatever; and here probably denotes carriages, or other means for removing goods. This was intended to signify that the captivity was at hand.
although <07200> [it may.]
Ezekiel 32:27
lie <07901> [shall not.]
Sheol <07585> [to hell.]
That is, to the grave; and are buried in their armour, with their weapons lying by their sides, as was a very ancient practice in various nations.
weapons ... war <04421 03627> [their weapons of war. Heb. weapons of their war.]
shields <05771> [but.]
