1 sn Even though the infinitive absolute is used to emphasize the warning, the warning is still implicitly conditional, as the following context makes clear.
2 tn Or “in his punishment.” The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here and v. 19; 4:17; 7:13, 16; 18: 17, 18, 19, 20; 24:23; 33:6, 8, 9; 39:23. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment for iniquity.”
3 tn Heb “his blood I will seek from your hand.” The expression “seek blood from the hand” is equivalent to requiring the death penalty (2 Sam 4:11-12).
4 tn The Hebrew verb translated “wiped out” is used to describe the judgment of the Flood (Gen 6:7; 7:4, 23).
5 tn Apart from this context the Hebrew term occurs only in Gen 15:17 in reference to the darkness after sunset. It may mean twilight.
6 tn Or “land” (ASV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).
7 sn See also Ezek 12:11, 24:24, 27.
8 tn The words “my baggage” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied from the context.
9 sn The prince is a reference to Zedekiah.
10 tn The words “his belongings” are not in the Hebrew text but are implied.
11 tc The MT reads “they”; the LXX and Syriac read “he.”
12 tn Heb “and I said/thought to pour out.”
13 tn Heb “to bring them to an end.”
14 tn Heb “and I will cut off from her man and beast.”
15 tn Heb “fall.”
16 tn Heb “to the people of antiquity.”
17 tn Heb “like.” The translation assumes an emendation of the preposition כְּ (kÿ, “like”), to בְּ (bÿ, “in, among”).
18 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.”
19 tn Heb “I will put fear in the land of Egypt.”
20 tn Heb “and they will not stand to them in their height, all the drinkers of water.”
21 tn Heb “for death, to the lower earth.”
22 tn Heb “the sons of men.”
23 tn Heb “I will cause them to cease from feeding sheep.”
24 tn Or “spirit,” and several times in this verse.
25 tn Heb “come up.”
26 tn Or “reveal my holiness.”
27 tn Or “in their punishment.” The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity/punishment” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here; 3:18, 19; 4:17; 7:13, 16; 18: 17, 18, 19, 20; 24:23; 33:6, 8, 9. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment” for iniquity or “guilt” of iniquity.
28 tn Heb “look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and set your mind on.”
29 tn Heb “in order to show (it) to you.”
30 sn For a similar concept of the transmitting of holiness, see Exod 19:12-14; Lev 10:1-2; 2 Sam 6:7. Similar laws concerning the priest are found in Lev 10 and 21.
