Ezekiel 3:12

Ezekiel Before the Exiles

12 Then a wind lifted me up ^{▼▼ 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, ^{▼▼ This translation accepts the emendation suggested in BHS of בְּרוּם (b^erum) for בָּרוּךְ (barukh). The letters mem (מ) and kaph (כ) were easily confused in the old script while בָּרוּךְ (“blessed be”) both implies a quotation which is out of place here and also does not fit the later phrase, “from its place,” which requires a verb of motion.}
