5 tn The verbs here are all in the tense that views the actions as though they were already done (the Hebrew prophetic perfect). The verbs in the next verse are a mixture of prophetic perfects and imperfects which announce future actions. |

2 sn The allusion here, if it is not merely a part of the metaphor of the wandering sheep, is to the worship of the false gods on the high hills (Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">2:20, 3:2). |

2 tn The meaning of this word is uncertain. The definition here follows that of HALOT 91 s.v. אָשְׁיָה, which defines it on the basis of an Akkadian word and treats it as a loanword. |

4 sn The commands are here addressed to the kings of the Medes to fully blockade the city by posting watchmen and setting men in ambush to prevent people from escaping from the city (cf. 2 Kgs 25:4). |
| (0.13636015625) | (Jer 51:25) |
2 tn The word “Babylon” is not in the text but is universally understood as the referent. It is supplied in the translation here to clarify the referent for the sake of the average reader. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Jer 51:40) |
1 sn This statement is highly ironic in light of the fact that the Babylonians were compared to lions and lion cubs (v. Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">38). Here they are like lambs, rams, and male goats which are to be lead off to be slaughtered. |

4 tn Heb “they flow away.” The verb זוּב (zuv, “to flow, gush”) is used figuratively here, meaning “to pine away” or “to waste away” from hunger. See also the next note. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Eze 2:3) |
3 tn The Hebrew term used here is the strongest word available for expressing a covenant violation. The word is used in the diplomatic arena to express a treaty violation (2 Kgs 1:1; 3:5, 7). |
| (0.13636015625) | (Eze 6:9) |
1 tn The words “they will realize” are not in the Hebrew text; they are added here for stylistic reasons since this clause assumes the previous verb “to remember” or “to take into account.” |
| (0.13636015625) | (Eze 9:9) |
1 tn Or “lawlessness” (NAB); “perversity” (NRSV). The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT, and its meaning is uncertain. The similar phrase in Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">7:23 has a common word for “violence.” |

| (0.13636015625) | (Eze 16:26) |
1 tn Heb “your neighbors, large of flesh.” The word “flesh” is used here of the genitals. It may simply refer to the size of their genitals in general, or, as the translation suggests, depicts them as sexually aroused. |
