[7:13]  ¹ tc The translation follows the LXX for the first line of the verse, although the LXX has lost the second line due to homoioteleuton (similar endings of the clauses). The MT reads “The seller will not return to the sale.” This Hebrew reading has been construed as a reference to land redemption, the temporary sale of the use of property, with property rights returned to the seller in the year of Jubilee. But the context has no other indicator that land redemption is in view. If correct, the LXX evidence suggests that one of the cases of “the customer” has been replaced by “the seller” in the MT, perhaps due to hoimoioarcton (similar beginnings of the words).

[7:13]  ² tn The Hebrew word refers to the din or noise made by a crowd, and by extension may refer to the crowd itself.

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

[13:10]  ⁴ tn Or “peace.”

[13:10]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew word only occurs here in the Bible. According to L. C. Allen (Ezekiel [WBC], 1:202-3) it is also used in the Mishnah of a wall of rough stones without mortar. This fits the context here comparing the false prophetic messages to a nice coat of whitewash on a structurally unstable wall.

[17:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “took of the seed of the land.” For the vine imagery, “seedling” is a better translation, though in its subsequent interpretation the “seed” refers to Zedekiah through its common application to offspring.

[17:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “a field for seed.”

[33:21]  ¹⁰ tn January 19, 585 b.c.

[33:21]  ¹² tn Heb “smitten.”

[40:10]  ¹³ sn The three alcoves are parallel to the city gates found at Megiddo, Hazor, and Gezer.

[41:2]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “ten cubits” (i.e., 5.25 meters).

[41:2]  ¹⁷ tc The translation follows the LXX. The MT reads “the width of the gate was three cubits,” the omission due to haplography.

[41:2]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

[41:2]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “forty cubits” (i.e., 21 meters).

[41:2]  ²⁰ tn Heb “twenty cubits” (i.e., 10.5 meters).

[43:17]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “fourteen”; the word “cubits” is not in the Hebrew text but is understood from the context; the phrase occurs again later in this verse. Fourteen cubits is about 7.35 meters.

[43:17]  ²⁰ tn Heb “half a cubit” (i.e., 26.25 cm).

[43:17]  ²¹ tn Heb “one cubit” (i.e., 52.5 cm).

[46:7]  ²² tn Heb “with the lambs as his hand can reach.”

[46:7]  ²³ tn Heb “a hin of oil.” A hin was about 1/16 of a bath. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:266, and O. R. Sellers, “Weights,” IDB 4:835 g.

[46:7]  ²⁴ tn Heb “ephah.” The words “of grain” are supplied in the translation as a clarification.

[46:16]  ²⁵ tn The Hebrew text has no preposition; the LXX reads “from” (see v. 17).
