Ezekiel 41:20-21

¹ tn Or “permitted.”

² tn The Hebrew term חֻקּוֹת (khuqot; translated “statutes” elsewhere in this chapter) is normally feminine. Here Ezekiel changes the form to masculine: חֻקִּים (khuqim). Further, they are not called “my decrees” as vv. 11 and 13 refer to “my statutes.” The change is a signal that Ezekiel is not talking about the same statutes in vv. 11 and 13, which lead to life.

¹ tn Heb “twenty-five cubits” (i.e., 13.125 meters).

² tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).
