40:35 Then he brought me to the north gate, and he measured it; it had the same dimensions as the others –
40:38 There was a chamber with its door by the porch of the gate; 1 there they washed the burnt offering.
1 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.
