Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) Son of man

(Some words not found in UHB: son_of humankind set face,your road/way_of south,to and,preach to/towards south and,prophesy to/towards forest the=field Negeⱱ )

“Son of a human being” or “Son of humanity or “Mortal person” or “Human.” God calls Ezekiel this to emphasize that Ezekiel is only a human being. God is eternal and powerful, but humans are not. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 2:1.

(Occurrence 0) set your face toward Jerusalem

(Some words not found in UHB: son_of humankind set face,your road/way_of south,to and,preach to/towards south and,prophesy to/towards forest the=field Negeⱱ )

This is a command to stare at Jerusalem as a symbol of punishing the people there. Alternate translation: “stare at Jerusalem” or “stare at Jerusalem so that the people there will be harmed”

(Occurrence 0) set your face toward Jerusalem

(Some words not found in UHB: son_of humankind set face,your road/way_of south,to and,preach to/towards south and,prophesy to/towards forest the=field Negeⱱ )

Jerusalem was far away, so Ezekiel could not see it, but staring in that direction would be a symbol of harming it. See how you translated a similar phrase in Ezekiel 6:2 Alternate translation: “Turn toward Jerusalem and stare” or “stare toward Jerusalem so that the people there will be harmed”
