Ezekiel 27:8

New English Translation

Footnotes

1. Ezekiel 27:8 tc The MT reads, “the residents of”; the LXX reads, “your rulers who dwell in.” With no apparent reason for the LXX to add “the rulers,” many suppose something has dropped out of the Hebrew text. While more than one may be possible, Allen’s proposal, positing a word meaning “elders,” is the most likely to explain the omission in the MT from a graphic standpoint and also provides a parallel to the beginning of v. 9. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:81.
2. Ezekiel 27:8 sn Sidon and Arvad, like Tyre, were Phoenician coastal cities.
3. Ezekiel 27:8 tn Or “wise.”
