Ezekiel 4:9

4:9 “As for you, take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, ¹  put them in a single container, and make food ²  from them for yourself. For the same number of days that you lie on your side – 390 days ³  – you will eat it.

Ezekiel 40:48

40:48 Then he brought me to the porch of the temple and measured the jambs of the porch as 8¾ feet ⁴  on either side, and the width of the gate was 24½ feet ⁵  and the sides ⁶  were 5¼ feet ⁷  on each side.

[4:9]  ¹ sn Wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt. All these foods were common in Mesopotamia where Ezekiel was exiled.

[4:9]  ³ tc The LXX reads “190 days.”

[40:48]  ⁴ tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

[40:48]  ⁵ tn The LXX reads “fourteen cubits” (i.e., 7.35 meters). See following note.

[40:48]  ⁶ tc The translation follows the LXX. The MT reads “the width of the gate was three cubits,” the omission due to haplography.
