40:1 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city 5 was struck down, on this very day, 6 the hand 7 of the Lord was on me, and he brought me there. 8
6:1 The word of the Lord came to me:
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.
3 tn Heb “sixty cubits” (i.e., 31.5 meters).
4 tn The word “high” is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied for sense.
5 sn That is, Jerusalem.
6 tn April 19, 573
7 tn Or “power.”
8 sn That is, to the land of Israel (see v. 2).
