1 tc The MT reads “your brothers, your brothers” either for empahsis (D. I. Block, Ezekiel [NICOT], 1:341, n. 1; 346) or as a result of dittography.
2 tc The MT reads גְאֻלָּתֶךָ (gÿ’ullatekha, “your redemption-men”), referring to the relatives responsible for deliverance in times of hardship (see Lev 25:25-55). The LXX and Syriac read “your fellow exiles,” assuming an underlying Hebrew text of גָלוּתֶךָ (galutekha) or having read the א (aleph) as an internal mater lectionis for holem.
3 map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.
4 tc The MT has an imperative form (“go far!”), but it may be read with different vowels as a perfect verb (“they have gone far”).
5 sn The wristbands mentioned here probably represented magic bands or charms. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:413.
6 tn Heb “joints of the hands.” This may include the elbow and shoulder joints.
7 tn The Hebrew term occurs in the Bible only here and in v. 21. It has also been understood as a veil or type of head covering. D. I. Block (Ezekiel [NICOT], 1:414) suggests that given the context of magical devices, the expected parallel to the magical arm bands, and the meaning of this Hebrew root (סָפַח [safakh, “to attach” or “join”]), it may refer to headbands or necklaces on which magical amulets were worn.
8 tn Heb “human lives” or “souls” (three times in v. 18 and twice in v. 19).
9 tn Heb “human lives” or “souls.”
10 tn Heb “because you have interceded for your sisters with your sins.”
12 tn Heb “From the abundance of his horses he will cover you (with) their dust.”
13 tn Heb “like those who enter a breached city.”
14 sn This promise was given in Lev 25:18-19.
15 tn Heb “and they will not stand to them in their height, all the drinkers of water.”
16 tn Heb “for death, to the lower earth.”
17 tn Heb “the sons of men.”
18 sn For the expression “going down to the pit,” see Ezek 26:20; 32:18, 24, 29.
19 tn Heb “around him her graves,” but the expression is best emended to read “around her grave” (see vv. 23-24).
20 tn The name means “horde of Gog.”
