Ezekiel 6:13

Context
6:13 Then you will know that I am the Lord – when their dead lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hill and all the mountaintops, under every green tree and every leafy oak, 1  the places where they have offered fragrant incense to all their idols.

Ezekiel 21:7

Context
21:7 When they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you will reply, ‘Because of the report that has come. Every heart will melt with fear and every hand will be limp; everyone 2  will faint and every knee will be wet with urine.’ 3  Pay attention – it is coming and it will happen, declares the sovereign Lord.”

1 sn By referring to every high hill…all the mountaintops…under every green tree and every leafy oak Ezekiel may be expanding on the phraseology of Deut 12:2 (see 1 Kgs 14:23; 2 Kgs 16:4; 17:10; Jer 2:20; 3:6, 13; 2 Chr 28:4).

2 tn Heb “every spirit will be dim.”

3 sn This expression depicts in a very vivid way how they will be overcome with fear. See the note on the same phrase in 7:17.
