8:9 He said to me, “Go in and see the evil abominations they are practicing here.” 8:10 So I went in and looked. I noticed every figure 2  of creeping thing and beast – detestable images 3  – and every idol of the house of Israel, engraved on the wall all around. 4

[5:11]  1 tn The meaning of the Hebrew term is primarily emotional: “to pity,” which in context implies an action, as in being moved by pity in order to spare them from the horror of their punishment.

[8:10]  2 tn Or “pattern.”

[8:10]  3 tn Heb “detestable.” The word is often used to describe the figures of foreign gods.

[8:10]  4 sn These engravings were prohibited in the Mosaic law (Deut 4:16-18).

[8:16]  5 tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something.

[8:16]  6 sn The priests prayed to God between the porch and the altar on fast days (Joel 2:17). This is the location where Zechariah was murdered (Matt 23:35).

[8:16]  7 tc The LXX reads “twenty” instead of twenty-five, perhaps because of the association of the number twenty with the Mesopotamian sun god Shamash.

[8:16]  8 sn The temple faced east.

[8:16]  9 tn Or “the sun god.”

[8:2]  10 tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb (so also throughout the chapter).

[8:2]  11 tc The MT reads “fire” rather than “man,” the reading of the LXX. The nouns are very similar in Hebrew.

[8:2]  12 tc The MT reads “what appeared to be his waist and downwards was fire.” The LXX omits “what appeared to be,” reading “from his waist to below was fire.” Suggesting that “like what appeared to be” belongs before “fire,” D. I. Block (Ezekiel [NICOT], 1:277) points out the resulting poetic symmetry of form with the next line as followed in the translation here.

[8:2]  13 tc The LXX omits “like a brightness.”

[8:2]  14 tn See Ezek 1:4.

[21:4]  15 tn Heb “all flesh” (also in the following verse).

[21:4]  16 tn Heb “Negev.” The Negev is the south country.

[21:7]  17 tn Heb “every spirit will be dim.”

[21:7]  18 sn This expression depicts in a very vivid way how they will be overcome with fear. See the note on the same phrase in 7:17.

[23:11]  19 tn The word “this” is not in the original text.

[33:4]  20 tn Heb “his blood will be on his own head.”

[33:5]  21 tn Heb “his blood will be on him.”

[33:6]  22 tn Or “in his punishment.” The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity/punishment” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here and in vv. 8 and 9; 3:18, 19; 4:17; 7:13, 16; 18: 17, 18, 19, 20; 24:23; 39:23. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment” for iniquity or “guilt” of iniquity.

[33:6]  23 tn Heb “his blood from the hand of the watchman I will seek.”

[33:7]  24 sn Jeremiah (Jer 6:17) and Habakkuk (Hab 2:1) also served in the role of a watchman.

[7:30]  25 tn The words “I have rejected them” are not in the Hebrew text, which merely says “because.” These words are supplied in the translation to show more clearly the connection to the preceding.

[7:30]  26 tn Heb “have done the evil in my eyes.”

[7:30]  27 sn Compare, e.g., 2 Kgs 21:3, 5, 7; 23:4, 6; Ezek 8:3, 5, 10-12, 16. Manasseh had desecrated the temple by building altars, cult symbols, and idols in it. Josiah had purged the temple of these pagan elements. But it is obvious from both Jeremiah and Ezekiel that they had been replaced shortly after Josiah’s death. They were a primary cause of Judah’s guilt and punishment (see beside this passage, 19:5; 32:34-35).

[7:30]  28 tn Heb “the house which is called by my name.” Cf. 7:10, 11, 14 and see the translator’s note 7:10 for the explanation for this rendering.
