Ezekiel 5:7

5:7 “Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: Because you are more arrogant 1  than the nations around you, 2  you have not followed my statutes and have not carried out my regulations. You have not even 3  carried out the regulations of the nations around you!

Ezekiel 34:8

34:8 As surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, my sheep have become prey and have become food for all the wild beasts. There was no shepherd, and my shepherds did not search for my flock, but fed themselves and did not feed my sheep,

Ezekiel 41:6

41:6 The side chambers were in three stories, one above the other, thirty in each story. There were offsets in the wall all around to serve as supports for the side chambers, so that the supports were not in the wall of the temple.

Ezekiel 43:17

43:17 The ledge is 24½ feet 4  long and 24½ feet wide on four sides; the border around it is 10½ inches, 5  and its surrounding base 1¾ feet. 6  Its steps face east.”

1 tn Traditionally this difficult form has been derived from a hypothetical root הָמוֹן (hamon), supposedly meaning “be in tumult/uproar,” but such a verb occurs nowhere else. It is more likely that it is to be derived from a root מָנוֹן (manon), meaning “disdain” (see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 1:52). A derivative from this root is used in Prov 29:21 of a rebellious servant. See HALOT 600 s.v. מָנוֹן.

2 sn You are more arrogant than the nations around you. Israel is accused of being worse than the nations in Ezek 16:27; 2 Kgs 21:11; Jer 2:11.

3 tc Some Hebrew mss and the Syriac omit the words “not even.” In this case they are being accused of following the practices of the surrounding nations. See Ezek 11:12.

4 tn Heb “fourteen”; the word “cubits” is not in the Hebrew text but is understood from the context; the phrase occurs again later in this verse. Fourteen cubits is about 7.35 meters.

5 tn Heb “half a cubit” (i.e., 26.25 cm).

6 tn Heb “one cubit” (i.e., 52.5 cm).
