‏ Ezekiel 3:12

Ezekiel Before the Exiles

12 Then a wind lifted me up ^{▼▼sn See note on “wind” in 2:2.} and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me as the glory of the Lord rose from its place, ^{▼▼tc This translation accepts the emendation suggested in BHS of בְּרוּם (berum, “in the lifting”) for בָּרוּךְ (barukh). The letters mem (מ) and kaf (כ) were easily confused in the old script, while בָּרוּךְ (“blessed be”) implies a quotation, which is out of place here. The word also does not fit the later phrase “from its place,” which requires a verb of motion.}
