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.

4 tn The word “high” is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied for sense.
5 sn Decorative palm trees were also a part of Solomon’s temple (1 Kgs 6:29, 32, 35).
