¹ tn Heb “set your face toward.” This expression occurs as well in Ezek 6:2; 13:17.

² tn Or “the way toward the south,” or “the way toward Teman.” Teman is in the south and may be a location or the direction.

⁴ tn The Hebrew term can also mean “forest,” but a meaning of uncultivated wasteland fits the Negev region far better. See M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:418.

⁵ tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

⁶ tn Heb “five hundred cubits” (i.e., 262.5 meters); the phrase occurs twice in this verse.
