Ezekiel 21:26

Ezekiel 44:8

44:8 You have not kept charge of my holy things, but you have assigned foreigners 7  to keep charge of my sanctuary for you.

1 tn Heb “their way on their head I have placed.”

2 tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates being aware of or taking notice of something.

3 sn Heb “hand.” “Giving one’s hand” is a gesture of promise (2 Kgs 10:15).

4 tn Elsewhere in the Bible the turban is worn by priests (Exod 28:4, 37, 39; 29:6; 39:28, 31; Lev 8:9; 16:4), but here a royal crown is in view.

5 tn Heb “This not this.”

6 tn Heb “the high one.”

7 tc Instead of an energic nun (ן), the text may have read a third masculine plural suffix ם (mem), “them,” which was confused with ן (nun) in the old script. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:621.

tn This word is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied from the context.
