1 tn Heb “because you have interceded for your sisters with your sins.”
2 tn Heb “Put to.”
3 tn Heb “face.”
4 tn Heb “the pride of your strength” means “your strong pride.”
5 sn Heb “the delight of your eyes.” Just as Ezekiel was deprived of his beloved wife (v. 16, the “desire” of his “eyes”) so the Lord would be forced to remove the object of his devotion, the temple, which symbolized his close relationship to his covenant people.
6 tn Heb “the object of compassion of your soul.” The accentuation in the traditional Hebrew text indicates that the descriptive phrases (“the source of your confident pride, the object in which your eyes delight, and your life’s passion”) modify the preceding “my sanctuary.”
7 tn Heb “fall.”
8 tn Compare this phrase to Isa 57:20 and Amos 8:8. See M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:561.
9 tn Heb “bring near.”
10 tn Heb “one to one for you for one stick.”
11 tn Heb “the sons of your people.”
