Ezekiel 4:9

4:9 “As for you, take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, ¹  put them in a single container, and make food ²  from them for yourself. For the same number of days that you lie on your side – 390 days ³  – you will eat it.

Ezekiel 9:2

9:2 Next, I noticed ⁴  six men ⁵  coming from the direction of the upper gate ⁶  which faces north, each with his war club in his hand. Among them was a man dressed in linen with a writing kit ⁷  at his side. They came and stood beside the bronze altar.

Ezekiel 23:24

23:24 They will attack ⁸  you with weapons, ⁹  chariots, wagons, and with a huge army; ¹⁰  they will array themselves against you on every side with large shields, small shields, and helmets. I will assign them the task of judgment; ¹¹  they will punish you according to their laws.

Ezekiel 41:7

41:7 The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story; ¹²  for the structure ¹³  surrounding the temple went up story by story all around the temple. For this reason the width of the temple increased as it went up, and one went up from the lowest story to the highest by the way of the middle story.

Ezekiel 47:1

Water from the Temple

¹ sn Wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt. All these foods were common in Mesopotamia where Ezekiel was exiled.

² tn Heb “bread.”

³ tc The LXX reads “190 days.”

⁴ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

⁵ sn The six men plus the scribe would equal seven, which was believed by the Babylonians to be the number of planetary deities.

⁶ sn The upper gate was built by Jotham (2 Kgs 15:35).

⁷ tn Or “a scribe’s inkhorn.” The Hebrew term occurs in the OT only in Ezek 9 and is believed to be an Egyptian loanword.

⁸ tn Heb “come against.”

⁹ tn This is the only occurrence of this term in the OT. The precise meaning is uncertain.

¹⁰ tn Heb “an assembly of peoples.”

¹¹ tn Heb “I will place before them judgment.”

¹² tc The Hebrew is difficult here. The Targum envisions a winding ramp or set of stairs, which entails reading the first word as a noun rather than a verb and reading the second word also not as a verb, supposing that an initial mem has been read as vav and nun. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:549.

¹³ tn The Hebrew term occurs only here in the OT.

¹⁴ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.
