Discovery BoxEzekiel 40:14-15 
Context40:14 He measured 1 the porch 2 at 105 feet 3 high; 4 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. 5
Ezekiel 40:38
Context40:38 There was a chamber with its door by the porch of the gate; 6 there they washed the burnt offering.
1 tn Heb “made.”
2 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.
3 tn Heb “sixty cubits” (i.e., 31.5 meters).
4 tn The word “high” is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied for sense.
5 tn Heb “fifty cubits” (i.e., 26.25 meters).
6 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.
