¹ tn Heb “through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem.”

map For location see Map5-B1; Map6-F3; Map7-E2; Map8-F2; Map10-B3; JP1-F4; JP2-F4; JP3-F4; JP4-F4.

² tn The word translated “mark” is in Hebrew the letter ת (tav). Outside this context the only other occurrence of the word is in Job 31:35. In ancient Hebrew script this letter was written like the letter X.

sn For a similar concept in the Bible, see Rev 7:2-4; 13:16; 14:9, 11; 20:4; 22:4.

³ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn The Hebrew term often refers to chariot wheels (Isa 28:28; Ezek 23:24; 26:10).

⁵ tc The LXX, Syriac, Vulgate, and Targum mss read plural “cherubim” while the MT is singular here, “cherub.” The plural ending was probably omitted in copying the MT due to the similar beginning of the next word.

⁶ sn That is, the cherubim.

⁷ tn Many interpreters assume that the human face of each cherub was the one that looked forward.

⁸ sn I will be their God. See Exod 6:7; Lev 26:12; Jer 7:23; 11:4.

⁹ tn Heb “all flesh” (also in the following verse).

¹⁰ tn Heb “Negev.” The Negev is the south country.

¹¹ tn Heb “in the day of Egypt.” The word “doom” has been added in the translation to clarify the nature of this day.

¹² sn In Zeph 1:15 darkness is associated with the day of the Lord.

¹³ tn Heb “burn and kindle the weapons.”

¹⁴ tn Two different types of shields are specified in the Hebrew text.

¹⁵ tn Heb “to eat bread.”

¹⁶ tn Heb “the sea,” referring to the Dead Sea. This has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁷ tn Heb “to the sea, those which are brought out.” The reading makes no sense. The text is best emended to read “filthy” (i.e., stagnant). See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:273.

¹⁸ tn Heb “the waters become healed.”

¹⁹ tn Heb “strayed off.”
