[40:44]  ¹ tn “One” is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied for clarity in the translation.

[40:44]  ² tc This reading is supported by the LXX; the MT reads “east.”

[12:6]  ¹ tn Apart from this context the Hebrew term occurs only in Gen 15:17 in reference to the darkness after sunset. It may mean twilight.

[12:6]  ² tn Or “land” (ASV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[12:6]  ³ sn See also Ezek 12:11, 24:24, 27.

[25:9]  ¹ tn Heb “shoulder.”

[25:9]  ² tn Heb “from the cities.” The verb “eliminating” has been added in the translation to reflect the privative use of the preposition (see BDB 583 s.v. מִן 7.b).

[25:9]  ³ tn Heb “from its cities, from its end.”

[29:7]  ¹ tn The Hebrew consonantal text (Kethib) has “by your hand,” but the marginal reading (Qere) has simply “by the hand.” The LXX reads “with their hand.”

[29:7]  ² tn Or perhaps “dislocated.”

[29:7]  ³ tn Heb “you caused to stand for them all their hips.” An emendation which switches two letters but is supported by the LXX yields the reading “you caused all their hips to shake.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:103. In 2 Kgs 18:21 and Isa 36:6 trusting in the Pharaoh is compared to leaning on a staff. The oracle may reflect Hophra’s attempt to aid Jerusalem (Jer 37:5-8).

[12:7]  ¹ tn The words “my baggage” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied from the context.

[12:12]  ¹ sn The prince is a reference to Zedekiah.

[12:12]  ² tn The words “his belongings” are not in the Hebrew text but are implied.

[12:12]  ³ tc The MT reads “they”; the LXX and Syriac read “he.”

[29:18]  ¹ tn Heb “Nebuchadrezzar” is a variant and more correct spelling of Nebuchadnezzar, as the Babylonian name Nabu-kudurri-usur has an “r” rather than an “n” (so also in v. 19).

[29:18]  ² sn Nebuchadnezzar besieged Tyre from 585 to 571 b.c.

[46:19]  ¹ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.
