Ezekiel 5:7

Context

5:7 “Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: Because you are more arrogant 1  than the nations around you, 2  you have not followed my statutes and have not carried out my regulations. You have not even 3  carried out the regulations of the nations around you!

Ezekiel 36:11

Context
36:11 I will increase the number of people and animals on you; they will increase and be fruitful. 4  I will cause you to be inhabited as in ancient times, and will do more good for you than at the beginning of your history. 5  Then you will know that I am the Lord.

1 tn Traditionally this difficult form has been derived from a hypothetical root הָמוֹן (hamon), supposedly meaning “be in tumult/uproar,” but such a verb occurs nowhere else. It is more likely that it is to be derived from a root מָנוֹן (manon), meaning “disdain” (see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 1:52). A derivative from this root is used in Prov 29:21 of a rebellious servant. See HALOT 600 s.v. מָנוֹן.

2 sn You are more arrogant than the nations around you. Israel is accused of being worse than the nations in Ezek 16:27; 2 Kgs 21:11; Jer 2:11.

3 tc Some Hebrew mss and the Syriac omit the words “not even.” In this case they are being accused of following the practices of the surrounding nations. See Ezek 11:12.

4 sn These verbs occur together in Gen 1:22, 28; 9:1.

5 tn Heb “your beginning.”
