Ezekiel 11:15

11:15 “Son of man, your brothers, 1  your relatives, 2  and the whole house of Israel, all of them are those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem 3  have said, ‘They have gone 4  far away from the Lord; to us this land has been given as a possession.’

Ezekiel 16:36

16:36 This is what the sovereign Lord says: Because your lust 5  was poured out and your nakedness was uncovered in your prostitution with your lovers, and because of all your detestable idols, and because of the blood of your children you have given to them,

Ezekiel 16:52

16:52 So now, bear your disgrace, because you have given your sisters reason to justify their behavior. 6  Because the sins you have committed were more abominable than those of your sisters; they have become more righteous than you. So now, be ashamed and bear the disgrace of making your sisters appear righteous.

Ezekiel 29:5

29:5 I will leave you in the wilderness,

you and all the fish of your waterways;

you will fall in the open field and will not be gathered up or collected. 7 

I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the skies.

Ezekiel 33:24

33:24 “Son of man, the ones living in these ruins in the land of Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land, but we are many; surely the land has been given to us for a possession.’ 8 

1 tc The MT reads “your brothers, your brothers” either for empahsis (D. I. Block, Ezekiel [NICOT], 1:341, n. 1; 346) or as a result of dittography.

2 tc The MT reads גְאֻלָּתֶךָ (gÿ’ullatekha, “your redemption-men”), referring to the relatives responsible for deliverance in times of hardship (see Lev 25:25-55). The LXX and Syriac read “your fellow exiles,” assuming an underlying Hebrew text of גָלוּתֶךָ (galutekha) or having read the א (aleph) as an internal mater lectionis for holem.

4 tc The MT has an imperative form (“go far!”), but it may be read with different vowels as a perfect verb (“they have gone far”).

5 tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT.

6 tn Heb “because you have interceded for your sisters with your sins.”

7 tc Some Hebrew mss, the Targum, and the LXX read “buried.”
