Footnotes

  1. 22 Heb “and they will lift up over you a lament and they will say to you.”
  2. 23 Heb “O inhabitant.” The translation follows the and understands a different Hebrew verb, meaning “cease,” behind the consonantal text. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [], 2:, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (), 2:.
  3. 24 Heb “she and her inhabitants who placed their terror to all her inhabitants.” The relationship of the final prepositional phrase to what precedes is unclear. The preposition probably has a specifying function here, drawing attention to Tyre’s inhabitants as the source of the terror mentioned prior to this. In this case, one might paraphrase verse 17b: “she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror; yes, her inhabitants (were the source of this terror).”
