Ezekiel 17:4-5

Context

17:4 He plucked off its topmost shoot;

he brought it to a land of merchants

and planted it in a city of traders.

17:5 He took one of the seedlings 1  of the land,

placed it in a cultivated plot; 2 

a shoot by abundant water,

like a willow he planted it.

1 tn Heb “took of the seed of the land.” For the vine imagery, “seedling” is a better translation, though in its subsequent interpretation the “seed” refers to Zedekiah through its common application to offspring.

2 tn Heb “a field for seed.”
