NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “as people come.” Apparently this is an idiom indicating that they come in crowds. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:264. 2 tn The word “as” is supplied in the translation. 3 tn Heb “do.” 4 tn Heb “They do lust with their mouths.” 5 tn Heb “goes after.” 6 tn The present translation understands the term often used for “unjust gain” in a wider sense, following M. Greenberg, who also notes that the LXX uses a term which can describe either sexual or ritual pollution. See M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:687. |
