Ezekiel 12:7

12:7 So I did just as I was commanded. I carried out my belongings packed for exile during the day, and at evening I dug myself a hole through the wall with my hands. I went out in the darkness, carrying my baggage 1  on my shoulder while they watched.

Ezekiel 33:22

33:22 Now the hand of the Lord had been on me 2  the evening before the refugee reached me, but the Lord 3  opened my mouth by the time the refugee arrived 4  in the morning; he opened my mouth and I was no longer unable to speak. 5 

Ezekiel 46:2

46:2 The prince will enter by way of the porch of the gate from the outside, and will stand by the doorpost of the gate. The priests will provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he will bow down at the threshold of the gate and then go out. But the gate will not be closed until evening.

1 tn The words “my baggage” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied from the context.

2 tn The other occurrences of the phrase “the hand of the Lord” in Ezekiel are in the context of prophetic visions.

3 tn Heb “he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 tn Heb “by the time of the arrival to me.” For clarity the translation specifies the refugee as the one who arrived.

5 sn Ezekiel’s God-imposed muteness was lifted (see 3:26).
