Discovery BoxEzekiel 13:19

Ezekiel 20:8
Context20:8 But they rebelled against me, and refused to listen to me; no one got rid of their detestable idols, 2 nor did they abandon the idols of Egypt. Then I decided to pour out 3 my rage on them and fully vent my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 20:39
Context20:39 “‘As for you, O house of Israel, this is what the sovereign Lord says: Each of you go and serve your idols, 4 if you will not listen to me. 5 But my holy name will not be profaned 6 again by your sacrifices 7 and your idols.
Ezekiel 40:4
Context40:4 The man said to me, “Son of man, watch closely, listen carefully, and pay attention 8 to everything I show you, for you have been brought here so that I can show it to you. 9 Tell the house of Israel everything you see.”
Ezekiel 44:5
Context44:5 The Lord said to me: “Son of man, pay attention, 10 watch closely and listen carefully to 11 everything I tell you concerning all the statutes of the Lord’s house and all its laws. Pay attention to the entrances 12 to the temple with all the exits of the sanctuary.
1 tn Heb “human lives” or “souls.”
2 tn Heb “each one, the detestable things of their eyes did not throw away.”
3 tn Heb “and I said/thought to pour out.”
4 sn Compare the irony here to Amos 4:4 and Jer 44:25.
5 tn Heb “and after, if you will not listen to me.” The translation leaves out “and after” for smoothness. The text is difficult. M. Greenberg (Ezekiel [AB], 1:374) suggests that it may mean “but afterwards, if you will not listen to me…” with an unspoken threat.
6 sn A similar concept may be found in Lev 18:21; 20:3.
7 tn Or “gifts.”
8 tn Heb “look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and set your mind on.”
9 tn Heb “in order to show (it) to you.”
10 tn Heb “set your heart” (so also in the latter part of the verse).
11 tn Heb “Set your mind, look with your eyes, and with your ears hear.”
12 tc The Syriac, Vulgate, and Targum read the plural. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:618.
