Context — The Judgment of Israelgenerated

23It will seem like a false omen to the eyes of those who have sworn allegiance to him, but it will draw attention to their guilt and take them captive.
24Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have drawn attention to your guilt, exposing your transgressions, so that your sins are revealed in all your deeds—because you have come to remembrance—you shall be taken in hand.
25And you, O profane and wicked prince of Israel, the day has come for your final punishment.’
26This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Remove the turban, and take off the crown. Things will not remain as they are: Exalt the lowly and bring low the exalted.

Ezekiel 21:24 is a declaration from the Lord regarding the sins of Israel. The people have made their guilt known, and their transgressions are laid bare. This verse emphasizes that their acknowledgment of wrongdoing has led to a situation where they will face consequences for their actions. The surrounding verses detail the severity of the judgment that is to come upon them, highlighting the seriousness of their rebellion against God.

The Key Word עֲוֹ֣נְכֶ֔ם, 'a.Vo.ne.Khemgenerated

The Hebrew word עָוֹן (*avon*) refers to iniquity or moral evil, encompassing concepts of guilt and the punishment associated with wrongdoing. It indicates not just the act of sin but also the inherent moral failure that leads to consequences.

In this verse, the reference to עֲוֹנְכֶם signifies the people's sins that have been exposed, leading to their judgment. The parsing indicates that it is a noun in singular construct form, which emphasizes the collective nature of their guilt.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses the term guilt to convey the meaning of עֲוֹנְכֶם.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb אָמַר֮, he says, governs the entire verse, introducing a series of phrases that explain the reason for the Lord's declaration. The structure shows a cause-and-effect relationship, where the acknowledgment of sin leads to the pronouncement of judgment.

The sentence is complex, with multiple clauses that elaborate on the conditions of Israel's guilt and the consequences that follow. The use of conjunctions and prepositional phrases helps to clarify the relationship between the people's actions and the Lord's response.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates עֲוֹן as ἀδικία, which means injustice or wrongdoing. This choice highlights the moral implications of the people's actions and aligns with the broader themes of accountability found in both texts.

The translation of הַזְכַּרְכֶם as ὁδοὺς suggests a focus on the paths or ways of the people, emphasizing the consequences of their choices and actions.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text of Ezekiel 21:24 presents a clear message about the consequences of exposing one's sins, emphasizing guilt and transgressions. The Septuagint, while it matches 16 out of 18 words with the Masoretic Text, has its own word order and articles, indicating some differences in phrasing but overall agreement in meaning. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls do not provide additional differing readings for this verse, so they are not mentioned here.

Lord

There are various Hebrew and Greek words so rendered.

(1.) Heb. Jehovah, has been rendered in the English Bible LORD, printed in small capitals. This is the proper name of the God of the Hebrews. The form “Jehovah” is retained only in Ex. 6:3; Ps. 83:18; Isa. 12:2; 26:4, both in the Authorized and the Revised Version.

(2.) Heb. ‘adon, means one possessed of absolute control. It denotes a master, as of slaves (Gen. 24:14, 27), or a ruler of his subjects (45:8), or a husband, as lord of his wife (18:12).

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

This name belongs to God by preeminence; and in this sense ought never to be given to any creature. Jesus Christ, as the Messiah, the Son of God, and equal with the Father, is often called Lord in Scripture, especially in the writing of Paul. The word LORD, in the English Bible, when printed in small capitals, stands always for JEHOVAH in the Hebrew. See JEHOVAH.

To "lift the hand," means to make oath. "At the right hand of God," is the place of honor, power, and happiness, Ps 16:11 45:9 110:1 Mt 26:64 Col 3:1.
