Ezekiel 17:6-7

Context

17:6 It sprouted and became a vine,

spreading low to the ground; 1 

its branches turning toward him, 2  its roots were under itself. 3 

So it became a vine; it produced shoots and sent out branches.

17:7 “‘There was another great eagle 4 

with broad wings and thick plumage.

Now this vine twisted its roots toward him

and sent its branches toward him

to be watered from the soil where it was planted.

Ezekiel 19:12

The east wind 5  dried up its fruit;

its strong branches broke off and withered –

a fire consumed them.

1 tn Heb “short of stature.”

2 tn That is, the eagle.

3 tn Or “him,” i.e., the eagle.

4 sn The phrase another great eagle refers to Pharaoh Hophra.

5 sn The east wind symbolizes the Babylonians.

6 tn The words “they are joined by” are added in the translation for purposes of English style.

7 sn The seven-nation coalition represents the north (Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, Beth-Togarmah), the south/west (Ethiopia, Put) and the east (Persia). The use of the sevenfold list suggests completeness. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:441.

8 tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

9 tn Heb “fourteen”; the word “cubits” is not in the Hebrew text but is understood from the context; the phrase occurs again later in this verse. Fourteen cubits is about 7.35 meters.

10 tn Heb “half a cubit” (i.e., 26.25 cm).

11 tn Heb “one cubit” (i.e., 52.5 cm).
