1 tn Heb “whose.”
2 tn The only other occurrence of the phrase “remote slopes of the pit” is in Isa 14:15.
3 tn The words “they are joined by” are added in the translation for purposes of English style.
4 sn The seven-nation coalition represents the north (Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, Beth-Togarmah), the south/west (Ethiopia, Put) and the east (Persia). The use of the sevenfold list suggests completeness. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:441.
