¹ sn The phrase son of man occurs ninety-three times in the book of Ezekiel. It simply means “human one,” and distinguishes the prophet from the nonhuman beings that are present in the world of his vision.

² tn Heb “swords.”

³ tn Heb “made.”

⁴ tc The MT reads “jambs” which does not make sense in context. Supposing a confusion of yod for vav, the text may be emended to read “porch.” See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:518.

⁵ tn Heb “sixty cubits” (i.e., 31.5 meters).

⁶ tn The word “high” is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied for sense.

⁷ tn Heb “the house.”
