¹ tn Heb “house.”

² tn Heb “the cherub.”

³ tn The Hebrew text adds, “from among the cherubim.”

⁴ tn Heb “it” (so KJV, ASV); the referent (the beauty in which the prostitute trusted, see the beginning of the verse) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵ tn Heb “deal with” or “work with.”

⁶ tc Some manuscripts and versions read “choice men,” while most manuscripts read “fugitives”; the difference arises from the reversal, or metathesis, of two letters, מִבְרָחָיו (mivrakhyv) for מִבְחָריו (mivkharyv).

⁷ tn Heb “fall.”

⁸ tn Heb, “on the mountains he does not eat.” The mountains are often mentioned as the place where idolatrous sacrifices were eaten (Ezek 20:28; 22:9; 34:6).

⁹ tn Heb, “does not lift up his eyes.” This refers to looking to idols for help.

¹⁰ tn Heb, “does not draw near to.” “Draw near” is a euphemism for sexual intercourse (Lev 18:14; Deut 22:14; Isa 8:3).

¹¹ tn Heb “restores to the debtor his pledge.” The root occurs in Exod 22:25 in reference to restoring a man’s garment as a pledge before nightfall.

¹² tn The Hebrew term refers to seizure of property, usually by the rich (Isa 3:14; 10:2; Mic 2:2 [see Lev 5:21, 22]).

¹³ tn Heb “be put to death.” The translation follows an alternative reading that appears in several ancient textual witnesses.

¹⁴ tn Heb “his blood will be upon him.”

¹⁵ tc This translation follows the LXX. The MT reads “restrains his hand from the poor,” which makes no sense here.

¹⁶ tn Or “in his father’s punishment.” The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity/punishment” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here and in vv. 18, 19, 20; 3:18, 19; 4:17; 7:13, 16; 24:23; 33:6, 8, 9; 39:23. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment for iniquity.”

¹⁷ tn Heb “lift up, bear.”

¹⁸ tn Heb “ways.”

¹⁹ tn The verbs and persons in this verse are plural whereas the individual has been the subject of the chapter.

²⁰ tn Or “leading to punishment.”

²¹ tn Or “They put him in a neck stock with hooks.” The noun סּוּגַר (sugar), translated “collar,” occurs only here in the Bible. L. C. Allen and D. I. Block point out a Babylonian cognate that refers to a device for transporting prisoners of war that held them by their necks (D. I. Block, Ezekiel [NICOT], 1:597, n. 35; L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 1:284). Based on the Hebrew root, the traditional rendering had been “cage” (cf. ASV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

²² tc The term in the MT occurs only here and in Eccl 9:12 where it refers to a net for catching fish. The LXX translates this as “prison,” which assumes a confusion of dalet and resh took place in the MT.

²³ tn The Babylonians were known for their cruelty (2 Kgs 25:7).

²⁴ tn Heb “him”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²⁵ tn Heb “his blood will be on his own head.”

²⁶ tn Heb “his blood will be on him.”

²⁷ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

²⁸ tn Heb “one thousand cubits” (i.e., 525 meters); this phrase occurs three times in the next two verses.
