Ezekiel 1:8

1:8 They had human hands ¹  under their wings on their four sides. As for the faces and wings of the four of them,

Ezekiel 42:20

42:20 He measured it on all four sides. It had a wall around it, 875 feet long and 875 feet wide, to separate the holy and common places.

Ezekiel 43:16-17

43:16 Now the altar hearth ²  is a perfect square, 21 feet ³  long and 21 feet wide. 43:17 The ledge is 24½ feet ⁴  long and 24½ feet wide on four sides; the border around it is 10½ inches, ⁵  and its surrounding base 1¾ feet. ⁶  Its steps face east.”

Ezekiel 10:11

10:11 When they ⁷  moved, they would go in any of the four directions they faced without turning as they moved; in the direction the head would turn they would follow ⁸  without turning as they moved,

¹ tc The MT reads “his hand” while many Hebrew mss as well as the Qere read “hands of.” Two similar Hebrew letters, vav and yod, have been confused.

² tn The precise Hebrew word used here to refer to an “altar hearth” occurs only here in the OT.

³ 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).

⁴ sn That is, the cherubim.

⁵ tn Many interpreters assume that the human face of each cherub was the one that looked forward.
