Footnotes

  1. Ezekiel 15:4 tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) draws one’s attention to something. Sometimes it may be translated as a verb of perception; here it is treated as a particle that fits the context (so also in v. 5, but with a different English word).
  2. Ezekiel 15:6 tn The words “as fuel” are not in the Hebrew text but are implied.
