1 tc This translation follows the LXX. The MT reads “restrains his hand from the poor,” which makes no sense here.

2 tn Or “in his father’s punishment.” The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity/punishment” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here and in vv. 18, 19, 20; 3:18, 19; 4:17; 7:13, 16; 24:23; 33:6, 8, 9; 39:23. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment for iniquity.”

3 tn Heb “lift up, bear.”

4 tn Heb “the wicked one.”

5 tn Heb “and in the statutes of life he walks.”

6 sn For a historical illustration of the priest carrying out this function, see 2 Chr 19:9-11.

7 tn Heb “sanctify, set apart.”
