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 1:11

1:11 Their wings were spread out above them; each had two wings touching the wings of one of the other beings on either side and two wings covering their bodies.

Ezekiel 8:16

8:16 Then he brought me to the inner court of the Lord’s house. Right there ²  at the entrance to the Lord’s temple, between the porch and the altar, ³  were about twenty-five ⁴  men with their backs to the Lord’s temple, ⁵  facing east – they were worshiping the sun ⁶  toward the east!

Ezekiel 40:44

40:44 On the outside of the inner gate were chambers for the singers of the inner court, one ⁷  at the side of the north gate facing south, and the other at the side of the south ⁸  gate facing north.

[1:8]  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.

[8:16]  ² tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something.

[8:16]  ³ sn The priests prayed to God between the porch and the altar on fast days (Joel 2:17). This is the location where Zechariah was murdered (Matt 23:35).

[8:16]  ⁴ tc The LXX reads “twenty” instead of twenty-five, perhaps because of the association of the number twenty with the Mesopotamian sun god Shamash.

[8:16]  ⁵ sn The temple faced east.

[8:16]  ⁶ tn Or “the sun god.”

[40:44]  ³ tn “One” is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied for clarity in the translation.

[40:44]  ⁴ tc This reading is supported by the LXX; the MT reads “east.”
