1 tn Heb “the stumbling block of their iniquity.” This phrase is unique to the prophet Ezekiel.
2 tn Or “I will not reveal myself to them.” The Hebrew word is used in a technical sense here of seeking an oracle from a prophet (2 Kgs 1:16; 3:11; 8:8).
3 tn Or “power.”
sn Hand in the OT can refer metaphorically to power, authority, or influence. In Ezekiel God’s hand being on the prophet is regularly associated with communication or a vision from God (3:14, 22; 8:1; 37:1; 40:1).
4 tn Heb “caused me to rest.”
5 tn The expression introduces the three major visions of Ezekiel (1:1; 8:3; 40:2).
6 tn The reference to a very high mountain is harmonious with Isa 2:2.
