Ezekiel 22:11

Context
22:11 One 4  commits an abominable act with his neighbor’s wife; another obscenely defiles his daughter-in-law; another violates 5  his sister – his father’s daughter 6  – within you.

1 tn Heb, “on the mountains he does not eat.” The mountains are often mentioned as the place where idolatrous sacrifices were eaten (Ezek 20:28; 22:9; 34:6).

2 tn Heb, “does not lift up his eyes.” This refers to looking to idols for help.

3 tn Heb, “does not draw near to.” “Draw near” is a euphemism for sexual intercourse (Lev 18:14; Deut 22:14; Isa 8:3).

4 tn Heb “a man.”

5 tn The verb is the same one used in verse 10b and suggests forcible sexual violation of the woman.

6 sn Sexual relations with one’s half-sister may be primarily in view here. See Lev 18:9; 20:17.
