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

2 tn Heb “twenty-five cubits” (i.e., 13.125 meters).

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

4 tn Heb “twenty-five cubits” (i.e., 13.125 meters).

5 tn Heb “three cubits” (i.e., 1.575 meters).

6 tn Heb “two cubits” (i.e., 1.05 meters).

7 tc So the Masoretic text. The LXX reads “base.”

8 tn Heb “the measurements of the altar by cubits, the cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth.” The measuring units here and in the remainder of this section are the Hebrew “long” cubit, consisting of a cubit (about 18 inches or 45 cm) and a handbreadth (about 3 inches or 7.5 cm), for a total of 21 inches (52.5 cm). Because modern readers are not familiar with the cubit as a unit of measurement, and due to the additional complication of the “long” cubit as opposed to the regular cubit, all measurements have been converted to American standard feet and inches, with the Hebrew measurements and the metric equivalents given in the notes. On the altar see Ezek 40:47.

9 tn The Hebrew term normally means “bosom.” Here it refers to a hollow in the ground.

10 tn Heb “one cubit” (i.e., 52.5 cm).

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

12 tn Heb “one cubit” (i.e., 52.5 cm).

13 tn Heb “one span.” A span was three handbreadths, or about nine inches (i.e., 22.5 cm).

14 tc Heb “bulge, protuberance, mound.” The translation follows the LXX.
