Ezekiel 10:14

10:14 Each of the cherubim ¹  had four faces: The first was the face of a cherub, ²  the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.

Ezekiel 40:21

40:21 Its alcoves, three on each side, and its jambs and porches had the same measurement as the first gate; 87½ feet ³  long and 43¾ feet ⁴  wide.

[10:14]  ¹ tn Heb “each one”; the referent (the cherubim) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:14]  ² sn The living creature described here is thus slightly different from the one described in Ezek 1:10, where a bull’s face appeared instead of a cherub’s. Note that some English versions harmonize the two descriptions and read the same here as in 1:10 (cf. NAB, NLT “an ox”; TEV, CEV “a bull”). This may be justified based on v. 22, which states the creatures’ appearance was the same.

[40:21]  ³ tn Heb “fifty cubits” (i.e., 26.25 meters).

[40:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “twenty-five cubits” (i.e., 13.125 meters).
