Footnotes

  1. 8 The Hebrew consonantal text (Kethib) has “by your hand,” but the marginal reading (Qere) has simply “by the hand.” The reads “with their hand.”
  2. 9 Or perhaps “dislocated.”
  3. 10 Heb “you caused to stand for them all their hips.” An emendation which switches two letters but is supported by the yields the reading “you caused all their hips to shake.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (), 2:. In 2 Kgs 18:21 and Isa 36:6 trusting in the Pharaoh is compared to leaning on a staff. The oracle may reflect Hophra’s attempt to aid Jerusalem (Jer 37:5–8).
