1 tn Heb “when you have fugitives from the sword among the nations, when you are scattered among the lands.”
2 tc The MT reads “Judah in fortified Jerusalem,” a geographic impossibility. The translation follows the LXX, which assumes בְּתוֹכָהּ (bÿtokhah, “in it”) for בְּצוּרָה (bÿtsurah, “fortified”).
sn As the Babylonians approached from the north, one road would branch off to the left and lead down the east side of the Jordan River to Ammon. The other road would veer to the right and lead down west of the Jordan to Jerusalem.
3 sn The king of Babylon referred to here was Nebuchadnezzar (Ezek 21:19).
4 tn Heb “approach.”
5 tn Heb “around him his graves.” The masculine pronominal suffixes are problematic; the expression is best emended to correspond to the phrase “around her grave” in v. 23. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:219.
6 tn Heb “all of them slain, the ones felled by the sword.” See as well vv. 23-24.
