41:8 I saw that the temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full measuring stick 9 of 10½ feet 10 high.
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 “twenty-five cubits” (i.e., 13.125 meters).
6 tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).
9 tc This reading is supported by the Aramaic Targum. The LXX, Vulgate, and Syriac read “shelves” or some type of projection.
10 tn Heb “one handbreadth” (7.5 cm).
13 tn Heb “reed.”
14 tn Heb “six cubits” (i.e., 3.15 meters).
