Ezekiel 43:16-17

Context
43:16 Now the altar hearth 1  is a perfect square, 21 feet 2  long and 21 feet wide. 43:17 The ledge is 24½ feet 3  long and 24½ feet wide on four sides; the border around it is 10½ inches, 4  and its surrounding base 1¾ feet. 5  Its steps face east.”

1 tn The precise Hebrew word used here to refer to an “altar hearth” occurs only here in the OT.

2 tn Heb “twelve cubits” (i.e., 6.3 meters; the phrase occurs twice in this verse).

3 tn Heb “fourteen”; the word “cubits” is not in the Hebrew text but is understood from the context; the phrase occurs again later in this verse. Fourteen cubits is about 7.35 meters.

4 tn Heb “half a cubit” (i.e., 26.25 cm).

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