Verse 1
- It came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month,
The opening of chapter 8 has similar wording. The recorded date of the occurrence in chapter 20 would fall in July–August 591 BC,[3] calculated to be August 14, 591 BCE, based on an analysis by German theologian Bernhard Lang.[4]
Verse 4
- Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them?
- "Will you judge them?" - a recurrent theme, also seen in Шаблон:Bibleref2 and Шаблон:Bibleref2-nb.[6]
- "Son of man" (Hebrew: בן־אדם Шаблон:Strong-number-Шаблон:Strong-number): this phrase is used 93 times to address Ezekiel.Шаблон:Sfn
- "Abomination" (Hebrew plural: תּוֹעֲבֹ֥ת tō-‘ă-ḇōṯ; singular: תּוֹעֵבָה Шаблон:Strong-number): something loathsome or objectionable, especially for "Jehovah" (Шаблон:Bibleref2), "specially used for things belonging to the worship of idols" or idolatrous practices and objects.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
Verse 5
- “Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On the day when I chose Israel and raised My hand in an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob, and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt, I raised My hand in an oath to them, saying, ‘I am the Lord your God.’"[7]
The text in the King James Version makes no reference to God's oath in this verse.[8]
Verse 29
- Then I said to them, "What is this high place to which you go?" So its name is called Bamah to this day.[9]
"Bamah" means "high place". Theologian Andrew B. Davidson suggests that Ezekiel uses "a punning and contemptuous derivation of the word", using what (mah) and go (ba):
- What (mah) is the high place whereunto ye go (ba)?"
Whilst he disagrees with the interpretation, Davidson notes that "some have supposed that “go” has the sense of “go in” (e.g. Шаблон:Bibleref2: Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite ... and he married her and went in to her) and that the allusion is to the immoralities practised on the high places".[1]
Verse 35
- And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will plead My case with you face to face.[10]
The "wilderness of the peoples" is alternatively translated as "the wilderness of the nations" (NIV),[11] or "a desert surrounded by nations" (Contemporary English Version).[12] Davidson suggests it refers to "the Syro-Babylonian wilderness, adjoining the peoples among whom they were dispersed",[1] perhaps the modern-day Syrian Desert. Davidson suggests that Ezekiel may have followed Hosea's words here:
- Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
- Bring her into the wilderness
- And speak kindly to her.[13]
Verse 37
- "Bond" (Hebrew: מסרת Шаблон:Strong-number): "band" or "terms" in New Living Translation; contraction of מַאֲסֹרֶת, used in relation to the "covenant", the same root as the word "mesorah".Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
