Ezekiel 1:19-20

Context

1:19 When the living beings moved, the wheels beside them moved; when the living beings rose up from the ground, the wheels rose up too. 1:20 Wherever the spirit 1  would go, they would go, 2  and the wheels would rise up beside them because the spirit 3  of the living being was in the wheel.

Ezekiel 10:16

Context
10:16 When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them; when the cherubim spread 4  their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not move from their side.

Ezekiel 32:13

Context

32:13 I will destroy all its cattle beside the plentiful waters;

and no human foot will disturb 5  the waters 6  again,

nor will the hooves of cattle disturb them.

Ezekiel 40:49

Context
40:49 The length of the porch was 35 feet 7  and the width 19ΒΌ feet; 8  steps 9  led up to it, and there were pillars beside the jambs on either side.

1 tn Or “wind”; the same Hebrew word can be translated as either “wind” or “spirit” depending on the context.

2 tc The MT adds the additional phrase “the spirit would go,” which seems unduly redundant here and may be dittographic.

3 tn Or “wind.” The Hebrew is difficult since the text presents four creatures and then talks about “the spirit” (singular) of “the living being” (singular). According to M. Greenberg (Ezekiel [AB], 1:45) the Targum interprets this as “will.” Greenberg views this as the spirit of the one enthroned above the creatures, but one would not expect the article when the one enthroned has not yet been introduced.

4 tn Heb “lifted.”

5 tn Heb “muddy.”

6 tn Heb “them,” that is, the waters mentioned in the previous line. The translation clarifies the referent.

7 tn Heb “twenty cubits” (i.e., 10.5 meters).

8 tn Heb “eleven cubits” (i.e., 5.775 meters).

9 tc The LXX reads “ten steps.”
