[40:6]  1 tn The Hebrew text adds “the one threshold 10½ feet deep.” This is probably an accidental duplication of what precedes. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:517.

[40:7]  2 tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters) according to the “long” cubit. See the note on the first occurrence of the phrase “10½ feet” in v. 5.

[40:9]  3 tn Heb “eight cubits” (i.e., 4.2 meters).

[40:9]  4 tn Heb “two cubits” (i.e., 1.05 meters).
