[5:9]  ¹ tn Or “abominable idols.”

[10:11]  ² sn That is, the cherubim.

[10:11]  ³ tn Many interpreters assume that the human face of each cherub was the one that looked forward.

[13:23]  ³ tn The Hebrew verb is feminine plural, indicating that it is the false prophetesses who are addressed here.

[16:34]  ⁴ tn Heb “With you it was opposite of women in your prostitution.”

[18:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “restores to the debtor his pledge.” The root occurs in Exod 22:25 in reference to restoring a man’s garment as a pledge before nightfall.

[18:7]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew term refers to seizure of property, usually by the rich (Isa 3:14; 10:2; Mic 2:2 [see Lev 5:21, 22]).

[18:8]  ⁶ sn This law was given in Lev 25:36.

[18:8]  ⁷ tn Heb, “turns back his hand.”

[18:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “justice of truth.”

[18:17]  ⁷ tc This translation follows the LXX. The MT reads “restrains his hand from the poor,” which makes no sense here.

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

[22:24]  ⁸ tc The MT reads “that is not cleansed”; the LXX reads “that is not drenched,” which assumes a different vowel pointing as well as the loss of a מ (mem) due to haplography. In light of the following reference to showers, the reading of the LXX certainly fits the context well. For a defense of the emendation, see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:32. Yet the MT is not an unreasonable reading since uncleanness in the land also fits the context, and a poetic connection between rain and the land being uncleansed may be feasible since washing with water is elsewhere associated with cleansing (Num 8:7; 31:23; Ps 51:7).

[22:24]  ⁹ tn Heb “in a day of anger.”
