The Inner Temple

41:1 Then he brought me to the outer sanctuary, and measured the jambs; the jambs were 10½ feet ²¹  wide on each side. 41:2 The width of the entrance was 17½ feet, ²²  and the sides ²³  of the entrance were 8¾ feet ²⁴  on each side.

[5:8]  ¹ tn Or “I challenge you.” The phrase “I am against you” may be a formula for challenging someone to combat or a duel. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:201-2, and P. Humbert, “Die Herausforderungsformel ‘h!nn#n' ?l?K>,’” ZAW 45 (1933): 101-8. The Hebrew text switches to a second feminine singular form here, indicating that personified Jerusalem is addressed (see vv. 5-6a). The address to Jerusalem continues through v. 15. In vv. 16-17 the second masculine plural is used, as the people are addressed.

[5:8]  ² tn The Hebrew text uses wordplay here to bring out the appropriate nature of God’s judgment. “Execute” translates the same Hebrew verb translated “carried out” (literally meaning “do”) in v. 7, while “judgment” in v. 8 and “regulations” in v. 7 translate the same Hebrew noun (meaning “regulations” or in some cases “judgments” executed on those who break laws). The point seems to be this: God would “carry out judgments” against those who refused to “carry out” his “laws.”

[5:8]  ³ tn Heb “in the sight of the nations.”

[5:8]  sn This is one of the ironies of the passage. The Lord set Israel among the nations for honor and praise as they would be holy and obey God’s law as told in Ezek 5:5 and Deut 26:16-19. The practice of these laws and statutes would make the peoples consider Israel wise. (See Deut 4:5-8, where the words for laws and statutes are the same as those used here). Since Israel did not obey, they are made a different kind of object lesson to the nations, not by their obedience but in their punishment as told in Ezek 5:8 and Deut 29:24-29. Yet Deut 30 goes on to say that when they remember the cursings and blessings of the covenant and repent, God will restore them from the nations to which they have been scattered.

[10:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “right side.”

[14:14]  ⁵ sn Traditionally this has been understood as a reference to the biblical Daniel, though he was still quite young when Ezekiel prophesied. One wonders if he had developed a reputation as an intercessor by this point. For this reason some prefer to see a reference to a ruler named Danel, known in Canaanite legend for his justice and wisdom. In this case all three of the individuals named would be non-Israelites, however the Ugaritic Danel is not known to have qualities of faith in the Lord that would place him in the company of the other men. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:447-50.

[21:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “the land of Israel.”

[21:3]  ⁷ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) draws attention to something and has been translated here as a verb.

[21:3]  ⁸ tn Or “I challenge you.” The phrase “I am against you” may be a formula for challenging someone to combat or a duel. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:201-2, and P. Humbert, “Die Herausforderungsformel ‘h!nn#n' ?l?K>,’” ZAW 45 (1933): 101-8.

[21:3]  ⁹ sn This is the sword of judgment, see Isa 31:8; 34:6; 66:16.

[21:3]  ¹⁰ sn Ezekiel elsewhere pictures the Lord’s judgment as discriminating between the righteous and the wicked (9:4-6; 18:1-20; see as well Pss 1 and 11) and speaks of the preservation of a remnant (3:21; 6:8; 12:16). Perhaps here he exaggerates for rhetorical effect in an effort to subdue any false optimism. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:25-26; D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:669-70; and W. Zimmerli, Ezekiel (Hermeneia), 1:424-25.

[21:4]  ¹¹ tn Heb “all flesh” (also in the following verse).

[21:4]  ¹² tn Heb “Negev.” The Negev is the south country.

[22:30]  ¹³ tn Heb “I did not find.”

[25:4]  ¹⁴ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates being aware of or taking notice of something and has been translated here with a verb (so also throughout the chapter).

[25:4]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “Look I am about to give you for a possession to.”

[25:4]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “sons.”

[26:4]  ¹⁷ tn Or “debris.”

[29:13]  ¹⁸ sn In Ezek 4:4-8 it was said that the house of Judah would suffer forty years.

[33:2]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “sons of your people.”

[36:21]  ²⁰ tn Heb “name.”

[41:1]  ²¹ tn Heb “six cubits” (i.e., 3.15 meters).

[41:2]  ²² tn Heb “ten cubits” (i.e., 5.25 meters).

[41:2]  ²³ tc The translation follows the LXX. The MT reads “the width of the gate was three cubits,” the omission due to haplography.

[41:2]  tn Or “sidewalls.”

[41:2]  ²⁴ tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

[41:2]  ²⁵ tn Heb “forty cubits” (i.e., 21 meters).

[41:3]  ²⁸ tn Heb “six cubits” (i.e., 3.15 meters).

[41:3]  ²⁹ tn Heb “seven cubits” (i.e., 3.675 meters).

[41:12]  ³⁰ tn Heb “seventy cubits” (36.75 meters).

[41:12]  ³¹ tn Heb “five cubits” (i.e., 2.625 meters).

[41:22]  ³³ tn Heb “three cubits” (i.e., 1.575 meters).

[41:22]  ³⁴ tn Heb “two cubits” (i.e., 1.05 meters).

[41:22]  ³⁵ tc So the Masoretic text. The LXX reads “base.”
