¹ tn Verses 17-19 are repeated in Ezek 33:7-9.

² tn Heb “the righteous man.”

³ tc The translation follows the LXX for the first line of the verse, although the LXX has lost the second line due to homoioteleuton (similar endings of the clauses). The MT reads “The seller will not return to the sale.” This Hebrew reading has been construed as a reference to land redemption, the temporary sale of the use of property, with property rights returned to the seller in the year of Jubilee. But the context has no other indicator that land redemption is in view. If correct, the LXX evidence suggests that one of the cases of “the customer” has been replaced by “the seller” in the MT, perhaps due to hoimoioarcton (similar beginnings of the words).

⁴ tn The Hebrew word refers to the din or noise made by a crowd, and by extension may refer to the crowd itself.

⁵ tn Or “in their punishment.” The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here and in v. 16; 3:18, 19; 4:17; 18:17, 18, 19, 20; 24:23; 33:6, 8, 9; 39:23. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment for iniquity.”

⁶ tn Heb “his blood will be on him.”

⁷ tn Heb “from his way to turn from it.”

⁸ tn Heb “and he does not turn from his way.”

⁹ tn Heb “the wicked one.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “and in the statutes of life he walks.”
