Ezekiel 18:9

Context
18:9 and follows my statutes and observes my regulations by carrying them out. 1  That man 2  is righteous; he will certainly live, 3  declares the sovereign Lord.

1 tc The MT reads לַעֲשׂוֹת אֱמֶת (laasotemet, “to do with integrity”), while the LXX reads “to do them,” presupposing לַעֲשׂוֹת אֹתָם (laasototam). The ם (mem) and ת (tav) have been reversed in the MT. The LXX refelcts the original, supported by similar phrasing in Ezekiel 11:20; 20:19.

2 tn Heb “he.”

3 tn Heb “living, he will live.” The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.
