NET Notes |
1 sn The prophet’s name, Ezekiel, means in Hebrew “May God strengthen.” 2 tn Or “to Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest.” 3 tn Heb “Chaldeans.” The name of the tribal group ruling Babylon, “Chaldeans” is used as metonymy for the whole empire of Babylon. The Babylonians worked with the Medes to destroy the Assyrian Empire near the end of the 7th century 4 tn Or “power.” 4 sn Hand in the OT can refer metaphorically to power, authority, or influence. In Ezekiel God’s “hand” being on the prophet is regularly associated with communication or a vision from God (3:14, 22; 8:1; 37:1; 40:1). |
