Ezekiel 5:1

5:1 “As for you, son of man, take a sharp sword and use it as a barber’s razor. 1  Shave off some of the hair from your head and your beard. 2  Then take scales and divide up the hair you cut off.

Ezekiel 8:3

8:3 He stretched out the form 3  of a hand and grabbed me by a lock of hair on my head. Then a wind 4  lifted me up between the earth and sky and brought me to Jerusalem 5  by means of divine visions, to the door of the inner gate which faces north where the statue 6  which provokes to jealousy was located.

Ezekiel 29:18

29:18 “Son of man, King Nebuchadrezzar 7  of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre. 8  Every head was rubbed bald and every shoulder rubbed bare; yet he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the work he carried out against it.

1 tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT.

2 tn Heb, “pass (it) over your head and your beard.”

3 tn The Hebrew term is normally used as an architectural term in describing the pattern of the tabernacle or temple or a representation of it (see Exod 25:8; 1 Chr 28:11).

4 tn Or “spirit.” See note on “wind” in 2:2.

6 tn Or “image.”

7 tn Heb “Nebuchadrezzar” is a variant and more correct spelling of Nebuchadnezzar, as the Babylonian name Nabu-kudurri-usur has an “r” rather than an “n” (so also in v. 19).

8 sn Nebuchadnezzar besieged Tyre from 585 to 571 b.c.
