Footnotes

  1. 9 Traditionally this difficult form has been derived from a hypothetical root הָמוֹן (hamon), supposedly meaning “be in tumult/uproar,” but such a verb occurs nowhere else. It is more likely that it is to be derived from a root מָנוֹן (manon), meaning “disdain” (see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [], 1:). A derivative from this root is used in Prov 29:21 of a rebellious servant. See מָנוֹן.
  2. 10 You are more arrogant than the nations around you. Israel is accused of being worse than the nations in Ezek 16:27; 2 Kgs 21:11; Jer 2:11.
  3. 11 Some Hebrew and the omit the words “not even.” In this case they are being accused of following the practices of the surrounding nations. See Ezek 11:12.
