Ezekiel 28:16

28:16 In the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence, ⁵  and you sinned;

[9:3]  ¹ tn Heb “house.”

[11:24]  ² tn Or “spirit.” See note on “wind” in 2:2.

[11:24]  ³ tn Heb “to Chaldea.”

[20:7]  ³ tn Heb “each one, the detestable things of his eyes, throw away.” The Pentateuch does not refer to the Israelites worshiping idols in Egypt, but Josh 24:14 appears to suggest that they did so.

[28:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “they filled your midst with violence.”

[28:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “I defiled you.” The presence of the preposition “from” following the verb indicates that a verb of motion is implied as well. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:91.

[28:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “and I expelled you, O guardian cherub.” The Hebrew text takes the verb as first person and understands “guardian cherub” as a vocative, in apposition to the pronominal suffix on the verb. However, if the emendation in verse 14a is accepted (see the note above), then one may follow the LXX here as well and emend the verb to a third person perfect. In this case the subject of the verb is the guardian cherub. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:91.

[43:2]  ⁵ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

[43:2]  ⁶ sn This same title appears in 8:4; 9:3; 10:19; and 11:22.

[43:2]  ⁷ sn Earlier Ezekiel had observed God leaving the temple to the east (11:23).

[43:2]  ⁸ sn See Ezek 1:24; Rev 1:15; 14:2; 19:6.

[43:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “shone from.”
