[8:11]  ¹ sn Note the contrast between these seventy men who represented Israel and the seventy elders who ate the covenant meal before God, inaugurating the covenant relationship (Exod 24:1, 9).

[8:11]  ² tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT.

[9:3]  ³ tn Heb “house.”

[26:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “many.”

[36:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “lip of the tongue.”

[38:16]  ⁹ tn Heb “come up.”

[38:16]  ¹⁰ tn Or “reveal my holiness.”

[40:6]  ¹¹ tn The Hebrew text adds “the one threshold 10½ feet deep.” This is probably an accidental duplication of what precedes. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:517.

[40:49]  ¹³ tn Heb “twenty cubits” (i.e., 10.5 meters).

[40:49]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “eleven cubits” (i.e., 5.775 meters).

[40:49]  ¹⁵ tc The LXX reads “ten steps.”

[41:7]  ¹⁵ tc The Hebrew is difficult here. The Targum envisions a winding ramp or set of stairs, which entails reading the first word as a noun rather than a verb and reading the second word also not as a verb, supposing that an initial mem has been read as vav and nun. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:549.

[41:7]  ¹⁶ tn The Hebrew term occurs only here in the OT.

[43:18]  ¹⁷ sn For the “sprinkling of blood,” see Lev 1:5, 11; 8:19; 9:12.

[47:12]  ¹⁹ sn See Rev 22:1-2.
