Talk:Book of Ezekiel

message: In the Hebrew language, God's personal name is written יְהוָ֑ה. These four letters, called the Tetragrammaton, are read from right to left in Hebrew and can be represented in many modern languages as YHWH or JHVH. God's name, represented by these four consonants, appears almost seven thousand times in the original "Old Testament," or Hebrew Scriptures. 
In English, the Tetragrammaton is translated “Jehovah”. Here's how it's translated in many other languages - 
Arabic - Yahwa      	Awabakal - Yehóa   	Bugotu - Jihova
Cantonese - Yehwowah	Danish - Jehova    	Dutch - Jehovah
Efik - Jehovah      	Fijian - Jiova     	Finnish - Jehova
French - Jéhovah    	Futuna - Ihova     	German – Jehova
Greek - Iechová     	Hungarian – Jehova 	Igbo - Jehova
Italian - Geova     	Japanese - Ehoba   	Maori - Ihowa
Motu - Iehova       	Mwala-Malu - Jihova	Narrinyeri – Jehovah
Nembe - Jihova      	Petats - Jihouva   	Polish - Jehowa
Portuguese - Jeová  	Romanian – Iehova  	Samoan - Ieova
Sotho - Jehova      	Spanish - Jehová   	Swahili - Yehova
Swedish - Jehova    	Tahitian – Iehova  	Tagalog - Jehova
Tongan - Jihova     	Venda - Yehova     	Xhosa - uYehova
Yoruba - Jehofah    	Zulu - uJehova     	
As such, I propose that, especially in articles written in English, as is this article, "Jehovah" be used as God's proper name. —Maxximiliann talk 14:51, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: This Talk page is for discussion about changes to this article. It isn't for suggesting changes to all articles that use a particular word. You should direct your request to the relevant WikiProject. Dougweller already started a section at the Bible WikiProject for you, but you just kept responding with irrelevant rhetoric there, which won't help your argument one bit.--Jeffro77 (talk) 02:57, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Better "rhetoric" than the vitriolic ravings of a renowned bigot, hey Jeffro? Given how quickly your notoriety is spreading I guess your ousting is just a question of when :) —Maxximiliann talk 05:14, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

message: So, if I am reading this correctly, there are two versions of this work, the longer version being the one that appears in the Masoretic text, and the shorter being the version that appears in the Septuagint.I think much more needs to be said of this.For one thing, is the Septuagint version simply shorter, or is it shorter and different?  In other words, would it be accurate to say that everything that is in the Septuagint version is also in the Masoretic version, but that not everything that is in the Masoretic version is in the Septuagint?  Or, are there some portions that are completely unique from one another?For another thing, what about English translations of this work?  Do English translations tend to follow the Masoretic version or the version from the Septuagint?  Might English translations have tended toward being of one version in the past while changing to being of the other later?  Or, might different denominations perhaps prefer one over the other?  (E.g., might Protestants prefer translations from the Masoretic version, and might Catholics prefer translations from the Septuagint?)So many questions.  This article could definitely be improved with some added information.allixpeeke (talk) 10:28, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

message: This article says that Ezekiel follows Isaiah and Jeremiah, but should it not say that it follows the Lamentations of Jeremiah? Vorbee (talk) 21:16, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

message: Is Book of Ezekiel part of the Christian bible? I thought it was, but don't see anything about that in the article. GA-RT-22 (talk) 21:43, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

message: Just an idea to flesh out something. Under "Structure", it says, "Ezekiel has the broad three-fold structure found in a number of the prophetic books". 
Which other prophetic books feature this structure/pattern? Skippedstone (talk) 21:00, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
