[42:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “fifty cubits” (i.e., 26.25 meters).

[43:16]  ⁷ tn The precise Hebrew word used here to refer to an “altar hearth” occurs only here in the OT.

[43:16]  ⁸ tn Heb “twelve cubits” (i.e., 6.3 meters; the phrase occurs twice in this verse).

[45:1]  ¹² tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers). The measuring units here are the Hebrew “long” cubit, consisting of a cubit (about 18 inches or 45 cm) and a handbreadth (about 3 inches or 7.5 cm), for a total of 21 inches (52.5 cm). Because modern readers are not familiar with the cubit as a unit of measurement, and due to the additional complication of the “long” cubit as opposed to the regular cubit, all measurements have been converted to American standard miles (one mile = 5,280 feet), with the Hebrew measurements and the metric equivalents given in the notes.
