Ezekiel 41:2

41:2 The width of the entrance was 17½ feet, ¹  and the sides ²  of the entrance were 8¾ feet ³  on each side. He measured the length of the outer sanctuary as 70 feet, ⁴  and its width as 35 feet. ⁵ 

Ezekiel 41:23-26

41:23 The outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary each had a double door. 41:24 Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging ⁶  leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. 41:25 On the doors of the outer sanctuary were carved cherubim and palm trees, like those carved on the walls, and there was a canopy ⁷  of wood on the front of the outside porch. 41:26 There were narrow windows and decorative palm trees on either side of the side walls of the porch; this is what the side chambers of the temple and the canopies were like.

[41:2]  ¹ tn Heb “ten cubits” (i.e., 5.25 meters).

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

[41:2]  ³ tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

[41:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “forty cubits” (i.e., 21 meters).

[41:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “twenty cubits” (i.e., 10.5 meters).

[41:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “turning” leaves.

[41:25]  ⁷ tn Or “railings.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:218.
