In the Masoretic version of the Book of Ezekiel, a group referred to as "children of the land league" are stated as being allies of Egypt, [4] but in the Septuagint version of the same passage, the group are described instead as "children of the Cherethites"; [3] scholars believe that this is a reference to an alliance of the Philistines as a whole, rather than a subgroup.

In the Bible, Ezekiel 43:3 states "And the vision I saw was like the vision which I had seen when he came to destroy the city. And the visions I saw were like the vision which I had seen by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face." Blumrich mistranslated "visions" in the latter part of verse 3 to "vehicular structure".
