[7:27]  ¹ tn Heb “and by their judgments.”

[12:12]  ² sn The prince is a reference to Zedekiah.

[12:12]  ³ tn The words “his belongings” are not in the Hebrew text but are implied.

[12:12]  ⁴ tc The MT reads “they”; the LXX and Syriac read “he.”

[25:7]  ³ tc The translation here follows the marginal reading (Qere) of the Hebrew text. The consonantal text (Kethib) is meaningless.

[26:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “and they will lift up over you a lament and they will say to you.”

[26:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “O inhabitant.” The translation follows the LXX and understands a different Hebrew verb, meaning “cease,” behind the consonantal text. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 2:72, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:43.

[26:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “she and her inhabitants who placed their terror to all her inhabitants.” The relationship of the final prepositional phrase to what precedes is unclear. The preposition probably has a specifying function here, drawing attention to Tyre’s inhabitants as the source of the terror mentioned prior to this. In this case, one might paraphrase verse 17b: “she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror; yes, her inhabitants (were the source of this terror).”

[28:26]  ⁵ sn This promise was given in Lev 25:18-19.

[36:11]  ⁶ sn These verbs occur together in Gen 1:22, 28; 9:1.

[36:11]  ⁷ tn Heb “your beginning.”

[36:23]  ⁷ tn Or “sanctify,” Heb “make holy.”

[46:17]  ⁸ sn That is, the year of Jubilee (Lev 25:8-15).
