for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”

  1. Ezekiel 28:8 tn Heb “you will die the death of the slain.”
  2. Ezekiel 28:10 sn The Phoenicians practiced circumcision, so the language here must be figurative, indicating that they would be treated in a disgraceful manner. Uncircumcised peoples were viewed as inferior and unclean. See 31:18 and 32:17-32, as well as the discussion in D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:99.
