Ezekiel 42:1

42:1 Then he led me out to the outer court, toward the north, and brought me to the chamber which was opposite the courtyard and opposite the building on the north.

Ezekiel 40:5

40:5 I saw ⁵  a wall all around the outside of the temple. ⁶  In the man’s hand was a measuring stick 10½ feet ⁷  long. He measured the thickness of the wall ⁸  as 10½ feet, ⁹  and its height as 10½ feet.

Ezekiel 41:12

41:12 The building that was facing the temple courtyard at the west side was 122½ feet ¹⁰  wide; the wall of the building was 8¾ feet ¹¹  all around, and its length 157½ feet. ¹² 

[42:10]  ¹ tc The reading is supported by the LXX.

[42:10]  ² tc This reading is supported by the LXX; the MT reads “east.”

[41:15]  ³ tn Heb “one hundred cubits” (i.e., 52.5 meters).

[41:15]  ⁴ tc Some Hebrew mss read “and its outer court.”

[40:5]  ⁵ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

[40:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “house.”

[40:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “a measuring stick of six cubits, [each] a cubit and a handbreadth.” The measuring units here and in the remainder of this section 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). Therefore the measuring stick in the man’s hand was 10.5 feet (3.15 meters) long. 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 feet and inches, with the Hebrew measurements and the metric equivalents given in the notes.

[40:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “building.”

[40:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “one rod [or “reed”]” (also a second time in this verse, twice in v. 6, three times in v. 7, and once in v. 8).

[41:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “seventy cubits” (36.75 meters).

[41:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

[41:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “ninety cubits” (i.e., 47.25 meters).
