Excerpt from The Book of the Prophet Ezekiel: With Notes and Introduction
The Book Of Ezekiel is less suited than most others to be the subject Of merely popular annotation. The state Of the Text is such that frequent references to it as well as to the Versions are unavoidable. It was no part Of the purpose of the following Notes to construct a Text; the thing aimed at has been to shew the general meaning of the Book, and, if possible, the connexion Of its parts with one another; but the readings of the LXX. Have generally been adduced when they presented any important deviation from the Hebrew. In the later chapters the ms. Of which the Greek is a translation was in many instances more correct than that of which the present Hebrew is a copy.
