¹ tn The Hebrew גֶּב (gev) may represent more than one word, each rare in the Old Testament. It may refer to a “mound” or to “rafters.” The LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate interpret this as a brothel.

² tn Or “lofty place” (NRSV). See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 1:229, and B. Lang, Frau Weisheit, 137.

³ tn The precise Hebrew word used here to refer to an “altar hearth” occurs only here in the OT.

⁴ tn Heb “twelve cubits” (i.e., 6.3 meters; the phrase occurs twice in this verse).
