1 tn The literal role of a watchman is described in 2 Sam 18:24; 2 Kgs 9:17.
2 tn Verses 17-19 are repeated in Ezek 33:7-9.
3 tn The meaning of the Hebrew term is primarily emotional: “to pity,” which in context implies an action, as in being moved by pity in order to spare them from the horror of their punishment.
4 tc This reading is supported by the versions and by the Dead Sea Scrolls (11QEzek). Most Masoretic Hebrew
5 tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT. A related verb means “revile, taunt” (see Ps 44:16).
6 tn Heb “discipline and devastation.” These words are omitted in the Old Greek. The first term pictures Jerusalem as a recipient or example of divine discipline; the second depicts her as a desolate ruin (see Ezek 6:14).
7 tn Heb “in anger and in fury and in rebukes of fury.” The heaping up of synonyms emphasizes the degree of God’s anger.
8 tn Or “within it,” referring to the city of Jerusalem.
9 tn Heb “in water you were not washed for cleansing” or “with water you were not washed smooth” (see D. I. Block, Ezekiel [NICOT], 1:473, n. 57, for a discussion of possible meanings of this hapax legomenon).
10 sn Arab midwives still cut the umbilical cords of infants and then proceed to apply salt and oil to their bodies.
11 sn The sacrifice of children was prohibited in Lev 18:21; 20:2; Deut 12:31; 18:10.
12 tn The Hebrew term, which also occurs in vv. 34 and 41 of this chapter, always refers to the payment of a prostitute (Deut 23:19; Isa 23:17; Hos 9:1; Mic 1:7).
13 tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT.
14 tc So MT, LXX, and Vulgate; many Hebrew
15 tn Heb “each one, the detestable things of his eyes, throw away.” The Pentateuch does not refer to the Israelites worshiping idols in Egypt, but Josh 24:14 appears to suggest that they did so.
16 tn Heb “will you judge.” Here the imperfect form of the verb is probably used with a desiderative nuance. Addressed to the prophet, “judge” means to warn of or pronounce God’s impending judgment upon the city. See 20:4.
17 tn The phrase “bloody city” is used of Nineveh in Nah 3:1.
18 tn Heb “I will put.” No object is supplied in the Hebrew, prompting many to emend the text to “I will blow.” See BHS and verse 21.
19 tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.
20 tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.
21 tn Heb “I am giving you into the hand of.”
22 tn Heb “your mouth will open.”
23 tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates being aware of or taking notice of something and has been translated here with a verb (so also throughout the chapter).
24 tn Heb “Look I am about to give you for a possession to.”
25 tn Heb “sons.”
26 sn This prophecy was fulfilled by Alexander the Great in 332
27 tn Heb “and they will lift up over you a lament and they will say to you.”
28 tn Heb “O inhabitant.” The translation follows the LXX and understands a different Hebrew verb, meaning “cease,” behind the consonantal text. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 2:72, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:43.
29 tn Heb “she and her inhabitants who placed their terror to all her inhabitants.” The relationship of the final prepositional phrase to what precedes is unclear. The preposition probably has a specifying function here, drawing attention to Tyre’s inhabitants as the source of the terror mentioned prior to this. In this case, one might paraphrase verse 17b: “she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror; yes, her inhabitants (were the source of this terror).”
30 tn Heb “many.”
31 tn The same expression occurs in Gen 2:17.
32 tn Heb “and you do not speak to warn.”
33 tn Heb “way.”
34 tn Heb “and his blood from your hand I will seek.”
35 sn This practice was a violation of Levitical law (see Lev 19:26).
36 tn Heb “lift up your eyes.”
37 tn Heb “Will you possess?”
38 tn Heb “cause you to hear.”
39 tc The MT reads תַכְשִׁלִי (takhshiliy), a metathesis for תַשְׁכִלִי (tashkhiliy) from the root שָׁכַל (shakhal) which is used in each of the previous verses.
40 sn That is, a heart which symbolizes a will that is stubborn and unresponsive (see 1 Sam 25:37). In Rabbinic literature a “stone” was associated with an evil inclination (b. Sukkah 52a).
41 sn That is, a heart which symbolizes a will that is responsive and obedient to God.
