Book of Ezekiel 30:13–18 in an English manuscript from the early 13th century, MS. Bodl. Or. 62, fol. 59a. A Latin translation appears in the margins with further interlineations above the Hebrew.
"What do you mean when you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying:
'The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
and the children's teeth are set on edge'?"[6]
"Behold, all souls are Mine;
The soul of the father
As well as the soul of the son is Mine;
The soul who sins shall die." (NKJV)[9]
"Soul" (Hebrew: חידה khî-ḏāh): the Hebrew word has a meaning of "enigmatic statements that require further interpretation", "allegorical and figurative", "dark, obscure utterance".[10][11]
"Parable" (Hebrew: משל mā-shāl;): "similitude" which is generally used in proverbs, generally form a comparison.[12][13]
Verse 32
"For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies," says the Lord God.
"Therefore turn and live!"[14]
"Turn" (Hebrew: השיבו hā-shî-ḇū, from the root verb שׁוּביבו shuḇ): the Hebrew word has a meaning of "turn back", "return, come or go back", "turn about", "be converted (as a sinner)."[15][16]
