¹ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates being aware of or taking notice of something and has been translated here with a verb (so also throughout the chapter).

² tn Heb “Look I am about to give you for a possession to.”

³ tn Heb “sons.”

⁴ tc This translation follows the reading זֶה (zeh) instead of גֵּה (geh), a nonexistent word, as supported by the LXX.

⁵ tn Or “territory”; see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:715.

⁶ tc The grammar is awkward, though the presence of these words is supported by the versions. L. C. Allen (Ezekiel [WBC], 2:274) suggests that it is an explanatory gloss.

sn One portion for Ephraim, the other for Manasseh (Gen 48:17-20).

⁷ sn See Rev 21:12-14.
