Discovery BoxEzekiel 16:52 
Context16:52 So now, bear your disgrace, because you have given your sisters reason to justify their behavior. 1 Because the sins you have committed were more abominable than those of your sisters; they have become more righteous than you. So now, be ashamed and bear the disgrace of making your sisters appear righteous.
Ezekiel 32:2
Context32:2 “Son of man, sing a lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him:
“‘You were like a lion 2 among the nations,
but you are a monster in the seas;
you thrash about in your streams,
stir up the water with your feet,
and muddy your 3 streams.
Ezekiel 38:8

Its people 5 were brought out from the peoples, and all of them will be living securely.
Ezekiel 39:23
Context39:23 The nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile due to their iniquity, 6 for they were unfaithful to me. So I hid my face from them and handed them over to their enemies; all of them died by the sword.
Ezekiel 40:48

Ezekiel 41:7
Context41:7 The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story; 11 for the structure 12 surrounding the temple went up story by story all around the temple.

Ezekiel 44:19

1 tn Heb “because you have interceded for your sisters with your sins.”
2 tn The lion was a figure of royalty (Ezek 19:1-9).
3 tc The Hebrew reads “their streams”; the LXX reads “your streams.”
4 tn Heb “from the sword.”
5 tn Heb “it.”
6 tn Or “in their punishment.” The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity/punishment” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here; 3:18, 19; 4:17; 7:13, 16; 18: 17, 18, 19, 20; 24:23; 33:6, 8, 9. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment” for iniquity or “guilt” of iniquity.
7 tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).
8 tn The LXX reads “fourteen cubits” (i.e., 7.35 meters). See following note.
9 tc The translation follows the LXX. The MT reads “the width of the gate was three cubits,” the omission due to haplography.
tn Or “sidewalls.”
10 tn Heb “three cubits” (i.e., 1.575 meters).
11 tc The Hebrew is difficult here. The Targum envisions a winding ramp or set of stairs, which entails reading the first word as a noun rather than a verb and reading the second word also not as a verb, supposing that an initial mem has been read as vav and nun. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:549.
12 tn The Hebrew term occurs only here in the OT.
13 sn For a similar concept of the transmitting of holiness, see Exod 19:12-14; Lev 10:1-2; 2 Sam 6:7. Similar laws concerning the priest are found in Lev 10 and 21.
