Ezekiel 36

There are clearly parts of this that I have never read before. Probably skimmed it in some English version on a bus to work some morning in the late '60s, but never noticed or even could have noticed what it said. This is a remarkable description of the terrible responsibility of being Israel, even to the point of dispossession.

The image of segregation we have recently read in Leviticus 15. The uncleanness rituals are therefore not a trivial item that no longer matters. They matter because of the unique relationship between God and humanity, all nations, all lands, of which Israel has been the example. Not that some specific natural function of humanity is unclean, but that the giver of all gifts requires us totally, and refuses to let us worship what is not of ultimate value. By natural human function, such as a monthly period or leprosy, a language of uncleanness has been formed that can by analogy 'explain' that all encompassing desire of the One who makes all things holy.

Verse 27. Here is a parallel with Jeremiah 33. I expected from the translations that the form of the verb would be hiphil causative, I will make you walk, I will cause you to walk, etc. But in this case the verb for make עשה is separate from the verb to walk הלך. Hebrew doesn't use helping verbs like English does. This separation made me use undertake for both verbs in this verse, though make/do is the more common gloss for עשה. Twice in this chapter, עשה is used without an object, and I have used acting for the gloss.

Stumble כשׁל and bereave שׁכל are too close for scribal comfort. It is quite possible that they might be read or written as each other simply by transposing one letter. Related to the theme of nations, (verses 3-7. 13-15 and later), it is possible that one should read stumbling-block in a few places. JB makes the nations singular in verses 13-14 and links the idea to infanticide. I don't see why the plural should suddenly refer back to Israel rather than continuing the pervasive theme of Yahweh acting on behalf of the nations round about and Israel being the stumbling-block. A consistent understanding of nation in the passage will resonate more effectively to the reception of verses 20-23 in Romans 2:24.

Who will know that 'I am Yahweh'? Note even the mountains and hills will know. But their burden is also severe. Does Ezekiel see the ecological crisis?

Prepositions again. One is stuck - in, among, within, in the midst of, etc. There is no isomorphic relationship in a translation, within a translation, or among readers in the midst of the text. ב, קרב, תוך, they all fit grammatically, and they all have slightly different shades of that dreadful word meaning. Is the spirit here in, within, or among? Read with care.

When I publish, if ever, I will have a section that indicates which stem mappings are synonyms, which are interpretive choices or even ambiguous, and which are isomorphic, and where there are homonyms, and which English glosses I have allowed to map to multiple Hebrew stems. How should I set this up?
