Ezekiel 10:14

10:14 Each of the cherubim ¹  had four faces: The first was the face of a cherub, ²  the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.

Ezekiel 45:3

45:3 From this measured area you will measure a length of eight and a quarter miles ³  and a width of three and one-third miles; ⁴  in it will be the sanctuary, the most holy place.

Ezekiel 45:5

45:5 An area eight and a quarter miles ⁵  in length and three and one-third miles ⁶  in width will be for the Levites, who minister at the temple, as the place for the cities ⁷  in which they will live.

¹ tn Heb “each one”; the referent (the cherubim) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² sn The living creature described here is thus slightly different from the one described in Ezek 1:10, where a bull’s face appeared instead of a cherub’s. Note that some English versions harmonize the two descriptions and read the same here as in 1:10 (cf. NAB, NLT “an ox”; TEV, CEV “a bull”). This may be justified based on v. 22, which states the creatures’ appearance was the same.

³ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).

⁴ tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).

⁵ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).

⁶ tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).

⁷ tc The translation follows the LXX here. The MT reads “twenty.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:246.
