1 tn The Hebrew word refers to the din or noise made by a crowd, and by extension may refer to the crowd itself.
2 tn Heb “to these he said in my ears.”
3 tn The meaning of the Hebrew term is primarily emotional: “to pity,” which in context implies an action, as in being moved by pity in order to spare them from the horror of their punishment.

5 tn The Hebrew verb is feminine plural, indicating that it is the false prophetesses who are addressed here.
6 tn Heb “Or shall we rejoice, scepter of my son, it despises every tree.” The translation understands the subject of the verb “despises,” which is a feminine form in the Hebrew text, to be the sword (which is a feminine noun) mentioned just before this. Alternatively, the line may be understood as “let us not rejoice, O tribe of my son; it despises every tree.” The same word in Hebrew may be either “rod,” “scepter,” or “tribe.” The word sometimes translated as “or” or taken as an interrogative particle may be a negative particle. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:672, n. 79.
sn The people of Judah should not place false hope in their king, symbolized by his royal scepter, for God’s judgment (symbolized by fire and then a sword) would destroy every tree (see 20:47), symbolizing the righteous and wicked (see 21:3-4).
7 tn Heb “For testing (will come) and what if also a scepter, it despises, will not be?” The translation understands the subject of the verb “despises,” which is a feminine form in the Hebrew text, to be the sword (which is a feminine noun) mentioned in the previous verses. The text is very difficult and any rendering is uncertain.
8 tn Heb “your blood will be in the middle of the land.”
9 tc The MT reads “that is not cleansed”; the LXX reads “that is not drenched,” which assumes a different vowel pointing as well as the loss of a מ (mem) due to haplography. In light of the following reference to showers, the reading of the LXX certainly fits the context well. For a defense of the emendation, see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:32. Yet the MT is not an unreasonable reading since uncleanness in the land also fits the context, and a poetic connection between rain and the land being uncleansed may be feasible since washing with water is elsewhere associated with cleansing (Num 8:7; 31:23; Ps 51:7).
10 tn Heb “in a day of anger.”
11 tn Heb “I will give it for a possession.”
12 tn Heb “the sons of Ammon” (twice in this verse).
13 tn Heb “the sons.”
14 tn Heb “muddy.”
15 tn Heb “them,” that is, the waters mentioned in the previous line. The translation clarifies the referent.
16 tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.
17 tn Heb “came up.”
18 tn Or “spirit.”
19 sn See Ezek 11:19; 37:14.
20 sn See Num 18:20; Deut 10:9; 18:2; Josh 13:33; 18:7.
