¹ tc This first sentence, which explains the meaning of the last sentence of the previous verse, does not appear in the LXX and may be an instance of a marginal explanatory note making its way into the text.

² tn Heb “left.”

³ tn Heb “right.”

⁴ sn Sodom was the epitome of evil (Deut 29:23; 32:32; Isa 1:9-10; 3:9; Jer 23:14; Lam 4:6; Matt 10:15; 11:23-24; Jude 7).

⁵ tc The Hebrew text reads “in your blood,” but most emend to “in your vineyard,” assuming a ב-כ (beth-kaph) confusion. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 1:284. Another attractive emendation assumes a faulty word division and yields the reading “like a vine full of tendrils, which/because…”; see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:607, n. 68.

⁶ tn Heb “stand.” The heart here stands for the emotions; Jerusalem would panic in the face of God’s judgment.

⁷ tn Heb “in the days when I act against you.”

⁸ tn Heb “with all your scorn in (the) soul.”

⁹ tn Heb “from your going out.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “built.”

¹¹ tn Perhaps the hull or deck. The term is dual, so perhaps it refers to a double-decked ship.

¹² sn See Gen 10:22.

¹³ sn The location is mentioned in Judg 11:33.

¹⁴ tc The MT leaves v. 18 as an incomplete sentence and begins v. 19 with “and Dan and Javan (Ionia) from Uzal.” The LXX mentions “wine.” The translation follows an emendation assuming some confusions of vav and yod. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:82.

¹⁵ sn According to L. C. Allen (Ezekiel [WBC], 2:82), Izal was located between Haran and the Tigris and was famous for its wine.

¹⁶ tn Heb “fallen.”

¹⁷ tn Heb “in the midst of you.”

¹⁸ tn Heb “from you.”

¹⁹ tn Heb “they draw near to arrive.”

²⁰ sn The Lord here uses a metaphor from the realm of ritual purification. For the use of water in ritual cleansing, see Exod 30:19-20; Lev 14:51; Num 19:18; Heb 10:22.

²¹ sn This promise reflects the ancient covenantal ideal (see Exod 6:7).

²² tn Heb “Let it be known.”

²³ sn Gen 15:9-21.
