Ezekiel 20:46
Context20:46 “Son of man, turn toward 3 the south, 4 and speak out against the south. 5 Prophesy against the open scrub 6 land of the Negev,
1 tn Or “a barricade.”
2 tn Heb “set camps against it.”
3 tn Heb “set your face toward.” This expression occurs as well in Ezek 6:2; 13:17.
4 tn Or “the way toward the south,” or “the way toward Teman.” Teman is in the south and may be a location or the direction.
5 tn Or “toward Darom.” Darom may mean the south or a region just north of southern city of Beer Sheba. See M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:417-18.
6 tn The Hebrew term can also mean “forest,” but a meaning of uncultivated wasteland fits the Negev region far better. See M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:418.
