Discovery BoxEzekiel 22:28

Ezekiel 38:17
Context38:17 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days by my servants 2 the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days 3 that I would bring you against them?
1 tn Heb “her prophets coat for themselves with whitewash.” The expression may be based on Ezek 13:10-15.
2 tn Heb “by the hand of my servants.”
3 tn The Hebrew text adds “years” here, but this is probably a scribal gloss on the preceding phrase. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:201.
