¹ sn By referring to every high hill…all the mountaintops…under every green tree and every leafy oak Ezekiel may be expanding on the phraseology of Deut 12:2 (see 1 Kgs 14:23; 2 Kgs 16:4; 17:10; Jer 2:20; 3:6, 13; 2 Chr 28:4).

² tn Heb “your way on (your) head I have placed.”

³ tn Heb “because of them he will die.”

⁴ tn Heb “your repairers of damage.” See v. 9.

⁵ tn Or “earth” (KJV, ASV, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

⁶ tn Heb “gone down.”

⁷ sn For the expression “going down to the pit,” see Ezek 26:20; 32:18, 24, 29.

⁸ tn Or “cause.”

⁹ tn Heb “live.”

¹⁰ tn Or “cause.”

¹¹ tn Heb “the beasts of the field,” referring to wild as opposed to domesticated animals.

¹² tn Heb “around him her graves,” but the expression is best emended to read “around her grave” (see vv. 23-24).

¹³ tc Heb “their dwellings.” The text as it stands does not make sense. Based on the LXX, a slight emendation of two vowels, including a mater, yields the reading “from their turning,” a reference here to their turning from God and deviating from his commandments. See BDB 1000 s.v. מְשׁוּבָה, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:407.

¹⁴ tn Or “tremble.”

¹⁵ tn The term occurs only here and in Song of Songs 2:14.
