¹tn The Hebrew term, which also occurs in vv. 34 and 41 of this chapter, always refers to the payment of a prostitute (Deut 23:19; Isa 23:17; Hos 9:1; Mic 1:7).

²tn Heb “short of stature.”

³tn That is, the eagle.

⁴tn Or “him,” i.e., the eagle.

⁵tn Heb “lusted after.”

⁶tn The word “this” is not in the original text.

⁷tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

⁸tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

⁹tn Heb “I am giving you into the hand of.”

¹⁰tn Heb “(was) in her.”

¹¹tn Heb “and men from the multitude of mankind.”

¹²tn An alternate reading is “drunkards.” Sheba is located in the area of modern day Yemen.

¹³tn Heb “they”; the referents (the sisters) have been specified in the translation for the sake of clarity.

¹⁴tn Heb “sons of Arvad.”

¹⁵sn The identity of the Gammadites is uncertain.

¹⁶tn See note on “quivers” in Jer 51:11 on the meaning of Hebrew שֶׁלֶט (shelet) and also M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:553.

¹⁷tn Heb “lift up.”

¹⁸tn For a discussion of possible nuances of this phrase, see M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:580-81.

¹⁹tn Heb “they filled your midst with violence.”

²⁰tn 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.

²¹tn 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.

²²tn Or “cypress trees” (cf. NASB, NLT); NIV “pine trees.”

²³tn Heb “fifty cubits” (i.e., 26.25 meters).

²⁷tn Heb “one and a half cubits” (i.e., 78.75 cm).

²⁸tn Heb “one and a half cubits” (i.e., 78.75 cm).

²⁹tn Heb “one cubit” (i.e., 52.5 cm).

³⁰tn “One” is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied for clarity in the translation.

³¹tc This reading is supported by the LXX; the MT reads “east.”

³²tn Heb “ten cubits” (i.e., 5.25 meters).

³³tc The translation follows the LXX. The MT reads “the width of the gate was three cubits,” the omission due to haplography.

tn Or “sidewalls.”

³⁴tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

³⁵tn Heb “forty cubits” (i.e., 21 meters).

³⁶tn Heb “twenty cubits” (i.e., 10.5 meters).

³⁷tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

³⁸tn Heb “three cubits” (i.e., 1.575 meters).
