Ezekiel 34:29
Context34:29 I will prepare for them a healthy 3 planting. They will no longer be victims 4 of famine in the land and will no longer bear the insults of the nations.
1 tn The phrase “live securely” occurs in Ezek 28:26; 38:8, 11, 14; 39:26 as an expression of freedom from fear. It is a promised blessing resulting from obedience (see Lev 26:5-6).
2 sn The woods were typically considered to be places of danger (Ps 104:20-21; Jer 5:6).
3 tc The MT reads לְשֵׁם (lÿshem, “for a name”), meaning perhaps a renowned planting (place). The translation takes this to be a metathesis of שָׁלֹם (shalom) as was read by the LXX.
4 tn Heb “those gathered” for famine.
