1 tn The word translated “set” is the same Hebrew word translated as “provide” in the previous verse.
2 sn This escape refers to the exile of Ezekiel and others in 597
3 tn Heb “their reproach.”
4 tn Heb “to contain, endure.” Since the Hebrew text as it stands makes little, if any, sense, most emend the text to read either “to consume” or “for destruction.” For discussion of options see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:693.
