Ezekiel 18:13

Ezekiel 18:19

18:19 “Yet you say, ‘Why should the son not suffer ⁵  for his father’s iniquity?’ When the son does what is just and right, and observes all my statutes and carries them out, he will surely live.

[6:14]  ¹ sn I will stretch out my hand against them is a common expression in the book of Ezekiel (14:9, 13; 16:27; 25:7; 35:3).

[6:14]  ² tc The Vulgate reads the name as “Riblah,” a city north of Damascus. The MT reads Diblah, a city otherwise unknown. The letters resh (ר) and dalet (ד) may have been confused in the Hebrew text. The town of Riblah was in the land of Hamath (2 Kgs 23:33) which represented the northern border of Israel (Ezek 47:14).

[18:13]  ³ tn Heb “be put to death.” The translation follows an alternative reading that appears in several ancient textual witnesses.

[18:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “his blood will be upon him.”

[18:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “lift up, bear.”
