Footnotes

  1. Ezekiel 30:13 Or the manure gods. See the note at 6:4.
  2. Ezekiel 30:14 Southern Egypt is called Upper Egypt because it is upstream on the Nile.
  3. Ezekiel 30:14 Hebrew No. The English names of Egyptian cities are traditionally based on the Greek forms of the names, which are quite different from the Hebrew forms. The translation will not footnote all of these instances.
