Ezekiel 40:14-15

40:14 He measured the porch at 105 feet high; the gateway went all around to the jamb of the courtyard. 40:15 From the front of the entrance gate to the porch of the inner gate was 87½ feet.

Ezekiel 40:38

40:38 There was a chamber with its door by the porch of the gate; there they washed the burnt offering.


tn Heb “made.”

tc The MT reads “jambs” which does not make sense in context. Supposing a confusion of yod for vav, the text may be emended to read “porch.” See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:518.

tn Heb “sixty cubits” (i.e., 31.5 meters).

tn The word “high” is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied for sense.

tn Heb “fifty cubits” (i.e., 26.25 meters).

tc The MT reads “jambs of the gates” which does not make sense in a context discussing one chamber. The emendation to “porch” is similar to v. 14. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:530.
