[6:7]  1 sn The phrase you will know that I am the Lord concludes over sixty oracles in the book of Ezekiel and indicates the ultimate goal of God’s action. The phrase is often used in the book of Exodus as well (Exod 7:5; 14:4, 18). By Ezekiel’s day the people had forgotten that the Lord (Yahweh) was their covenant God and had turned to other gods. They had to be reminded that Yahweh alone deserved to be worshiped because only he possessed the power to meet their needs. Through judgment and eventually deliverance, Israel would be reminded that Yahweh alone held their destiny in his hands.

[7:9]  2 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.

[7:9]  3 tn Heb “According to your behavior I will place on you.”

[7:9]  4 tn The MT lacks “you.” It has been added for clarification.

[7:27]  5 tn Heb “and by their judgments.”

[25:5]  6 tn Heb “the sons of Ammon.”

[25:7]  7 tc The translation here follows the marginal reading (Qere) of the Hebrew text. The consonantal text (Kethib) is meaningless.

[25:14]  8 tn Heb “know.”

[25:17]  9 tn Heb “with acts of punishment of anger.”
