¹ tn Or “pattern.”

² tn Heb “detestable.” The word is often used to describe the figures of foreign gods.

³ sn These engravings were prohibited in the Mosaic law (Deut 4:16-18).

⁴ tn Or “peace.”

⁵ tn The Hebrew word only occurs here in the Bible. According to L. C. Allen (Ezekiel [WBC], 1:202-3) it is also used in the Mishnah of a wall of rough stones without mortar. This fits the context here comparing the false prophetic messages to a nice coat of whitewash on a structurally unstable wall.

⁶ tn Or “within it,” referring to the city of Jerusalem.

⁷ tn Heb “I did not find.”

⁸ tn Heb “seventy cubits” (36.75 meters).

⁹ tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

¹⁰ tn Heb “ninety cubits” (i.e., 47.25 meters).
