1 tn The Hebrew word carries the basic idea of “bad, displeasing, injurious,” but when used of weapons has the nuance “deadly” (see Ps 144:10).
2 tn Heb “which are/were to destroy.”
3 tn The language of this verse may have been influenced by Deut 32:23.
4 tn Or “which were to destroy those whom I will send to destroy you” (cf. NASB).
5 tn Heb, “break the staff of bread.” The bread supply is compared to a staff that one uses for support. See 4:16, as well as the covenant curse in Lev 26:26.
6 tn Heb “the cherub.”
7 tn The Hebrew text adds, “from among the cherubim.”
8 map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.
9 tn The words “as fuel” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.
10 tn The parable assumes the defection of Zedekiah to Egypt and his rejection of Babylonian lordship.
11 sn The great eagle symbolizes Nebuchadnezzar (17:12).
12 tn Hebrew has two words for wings; it is unknown whether they are fully synonymous or whether one term distinguishes a particular part of the wing such as the wing coverts (nearest the shoulder), secondaries (mid-feathers of the wing) or primaries (last and longest section of the wing).
13 tn This term was used in 16:10, 13, and 18 of embroidered cloth.
14 sn In the parable Lebanon apparently refers to Jerusalem (17:12).
15 tn Heb “I lifted up my hand to them.”
16 tn Or “searched out.” The Hebrew word is used to describe the activity of the spies in “spying out” the land of Canaan (Num 13-14); cf. KJV “I had espied for them.”
17 sn The phrase “a land flowing with milk and honey,” a figure of speech describing the land’s abundant fertility, occurs in v. 15 as well as Exod 3:8, 17; 13:5; 33:3; Lev 20:24; Num 13:27; Deut 6:3; 11:9; 26:9; 27:3; Josh 5:6; Jer 11:5; 32:23 (see also Deut 1:25; 8:7-9).

23 tn Heb “one and a half cubits” (i.e., 78.75 cm).
24 tn Heb “one cubit” (i.e., 52.5 cm).
25 tc The MT apparently evidences dittography, repeating most of the last word of the previous verse: “and like the openings of.”
26 tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).
27 tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).
28 tc The translation follows the LXX here. The MT reads “twenty.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:246.
29 tn Heb “one thousand cubits” (i.e., 525 meters); this phrase occurs three times in the next two verses.
30 tn Heb “two rivers,” perhaps under the influence of Zech 14:8. The translation follows the LXX and other ancient versions in reading the singular, which is demanded by the context (see vv. 5-7, 9b, 12).
31 tn Heb “will be healed.”
