[5:15]  ¹ tc This reading is supported by the versions and by the Dead Sea Scrolls (11QEzek). Most Masoretic Hebrew mss read “it will be,” but if the final he (ה) is read as a mater lectionis, as it can be with the second masculine singular perfect, then they are in agreement. In either case the subject refers to Jerusalem.

[5:15]  ² tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT. A related verb means “revile, taunt” (see Ps 44:16).

[5:15]  ³ tn Heb “discipline and devastation.” These words are omitted in the Old Greek. The first term pictures Jerusalem as a recipient or example of divine discipline; the second depicts her as a desolate ruin (see Ezek 6:14).

[5:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “in anger and in fury and in rebukes of fury.” The heaping up of synonyms emphasizes the degree of God’s anger.

[19:14]  ⁵ tn The verse describes the similar situation recorded in Judg 9:20.

[21:22]  ⁹ tn Or “on the right side,” i.e., the omen mark on the right side of the liver.

[21:22]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “to open the mouth” for slaughter.

[21:22]  ¹¹ tn Heb “to raise up a voice in a battle cry.”

[22:30]  ¹³ tn Heb “I did not find.”

[24:6]  ¹⁷ tn Or “rust.”

[24:6]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “has not gone out.”

[24:6]  ¹⁹ tn Here “lot” may refer to the decision made by casting lots; it is not chosen at all.

[26:12]  ²¹ tn Heb “desirable.”

[26:12]  ²² tn Heb “set.”

[26:12]  ²³ tn Heb “into the midst of the water.”

[30:9]  ²⁵ tn Heb “in the day of Egypt.” The word “doom” has been added in the translation to clarify the nature of this day.

[30:11]  ²⁹ tn The Babylonians were known for their cruelty (2 Kgs 25:7).

[30:13]  ³³ tn Heb “I will put fear in the land of Egypt.”

[34:2]  ³⁷ tn The term shepherd is applied to kings in the ancient Near East. In the OT the Lord is often addressed as shepherd of Israel (Gen 49:24; Ps 8:1). The imagery of shepherds as Israel’s leaders is also employed (Jer 23:1-2).

[38:4]  ⁴¹ sn The Hebrew text mentions two different types of shields here.
