I will fill its mountains with its dead; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines, those killed by the sword will fall.

Footnotes

  1. Ezekiel 35:7 tc The translation reads with some manuscripts לְשִׁמְמָה וּמְשַׁמָּה (leshimemah umeshammah, “desolate ruin”) as in verse 3 and often in Ezekiel. The majority reading reverses the first mem (מ) with the shin (שׁ), resulting in the repetition of the word desolate: לְשִׁמְמָה וּשְׁמָמָה (leshimemah ushemamah).
  2. Ezekiel 35:7 tn Or “kill.”
