Ezekiel 41:1-2

The Inner Temple

41:1 Then he brought me to the outer sanctuary, and measured the jambs; the jambs were 10½ feet ¹  wide on each side. 41:2 The width of the entrance was 17½ feet, ²  and the sides ³  of the entrance were 8¾ feet ⁴  on each side. He measured the length of the outer sanctuary as 70 feet, ⁵  and its width as 35 feet. ⁶ 

[41:1]  ¹ tn Heb “six cubits” (i.e., 3.15 meters).

[41:2]  ² tn Heb “ten cubits” (i.e., 5.25 meters).

[41:2]  ³ tc The translation follows the LXX. The MT reads “the width of the gate was three cubits,” the omission due to haplography.

[41:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

[41:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “forty cubits” (i.e., 21 meters).

[41:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “twenty cubits” (i.e., 10.5 meters).
