Footnotes

  1. 6 The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) draws attention to something and has been translated here as a verb.
  2. 7 Or “I challenge you.” The phrase “I am against you” may be a formula for challenging someone to combat or a duel. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (), 1:, and P. Humbert, “Die Herausforderungsformel ‘hinnenî êlêkâ,’ ” 45 (1933): 101–8. The Hebrew text switches to a second feminine singular form here, indicating that personified Jerusalem is addressed (see vv. 5–6a). The address to Jerusalem continues through v. 15. In vv. 16–17 the second masculine plural is used, as the people are addressed.
