40:20 He measured the length and width of the gate of the outer court which faces north.

40:32 Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side. He measured the gate; it had the same dimensions as the others.
40:44 On the outside of the inner gate were chambers for the singers of the inner court, one 6 at the side of the north gate facing south, and the other at the side of the south 7 gate facing north.
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 tn Heb “one hundred cubits” (i.e., 52.5 meters).
6 tn “One” is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied for clarity in the translation.
7 tc This reading is supported by the LXX; the MT reads “east.”
