Ezekiel 26:20

Context
26:20 then I will bring you down to bygone people, 1  to be with those who descend to the pit. I will make you live in the lower parts of the earth, among 2  the primeval ruins, with those who descend to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited or stand 3  in the land of the living.

Ezekiel 31:14

Context
31:14 For this reason no watered trees will grow so tall; their tops will not reach into the clouds, nor will the well-watered ones grow that high. 4  For all of them have been appointed to die in the lower parts of the earth; 5  they will be among mere mortals, 6  with those who descend to the pit.

Ezekiel 31:18

Context
31:18 Which of the trees of Eden was like you in majesty and loftiness? You will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth; you will lie among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword! This is what will happen to Pharaoh and all his hordes, declares the sovereign Lord.’”

Ezekiel 32:24

Context

32:24 “Elam is there with all her hordes around her grave; all of them struck down by the sword. They went down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth, those who spread terror in the land of the living. Now they will bear their shame with those who descend to the pit.

1 tn Heb “to the people of antiquity.”

2 tn Heb “like.” The translation assumes an emendation of the preposition כְּ (kÿ, “like”), to בְּ (bÿ, “in, among”).

3 tn Heb “and I will place beauty.” This reading makes little sense; many, following the lead of the LXX, emend the text to read “nor will you stand” with the negative particle before the preceding verb understood by ellipsis; see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:73. D. I. Block (Ezekiel [NICOT], 2:47) offers another alternative, taking the apparent first person verb form as an archaic second feminine form and translating “nor radiate splendor.”

4 tn Heb “and they will not stand to them in their height, all the drinkers of water.”

5 tn Heb “for death, to the lower earth.”

6 tn Heb “the sons of men.”
