Ezekiel 40:14

40:14 He measured ¹  the porch ²  at 105 feet ³  high; ⁴  the gateway went all around to the jamb of the courtyard.

Ezekiel 40:38

40:38 There was a chamber with its door by the porch of the gate; ⁵  there they washed the burnt offering.

[40:14]  ¹ tn Heb “made.”

[40:14]  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.

[40:14]  ³ tn Heb “sixty cubits” (i.e., 31.5 meters).

[40:14]  ⁴ tn The word “high” is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied for sense.

[40:38]  ⁵ tc The MT reads “jambs of the gates” which does not make sense in a context discussing one chamber. The emendation to “porch” is similar to v. 14. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:530.
