10:5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard from the outer court, like the sound of the sovereign God ¹  when he speaks.

Yehezkiel 40:14-15

40:14 He measured ²  the porch ³  at 105 feet ⁴  high; ⁵  the gateway went all around to the jamb of the courtyard. 40:15 From the front of the entrance gate to the porch of the inner gate was 87½ feet. ⁶

Yehezkiel 41:26

[10:5]  ¹ tn The name (“El Shaddai”) has often been translated “God Almighty,” primarily because Jerome translated it omnipotens (“all powerful”) in the Latin Vulgate. There has been much debate over the meaning of the name. For discussion see W. F. Albright, “The Names Shaddai and Abram,” JBL 54 (1935): 173-210; R. Gordis, “The Biblical Root sdy-sd,” JTS 41 (1940): 34-43; and especially T. N. D. Mettinger, In Search of God, 69-72.

[40:14]  ² tn Heb “made.”

[40:14]  ³ tc The MT reads “jambs” which does not make sense in context. Supposing a confusion of yod for vav, the text may be emended to read “porch.” See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:518.

[40:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “sixty cubits” (i.e., 31.5 meters).

[40:14]  ⁵ tn The word “high” is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied for sense.

[40:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “fifty cubits” (i.e., 26.25 meters).

[40:38]  ⁷ tc The MT reads “jambs of the gates” which does not make sense in a context discussing one chamber. The emendation to “porch” is similar to v. 14. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:530.

[40:43]  ⁸ tc This reading is supported by the Aramaic Targum. The LXX, Vulgate, and Syriac read “shelves” or some type of projection.

[40:43]  ⁹ tn Heb “one handbreadth” (7.5 cm).

[42:8]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “fifty cubits” (i.e., 26.25 meters).

[42:8]  ¹¹ tn Heb “one hundred cubits” (i.e., 52.5 meters).

[42:10]  ¹² tc The reading is supported by the LXX.

[42:10]  ¹³ tc This reading is supported by the LXX; the MT reads “east.”

[43:5]  ¹⁴ tn See note on “wind” in 2:2.

[43:5]  ¹⁵ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

[43:5]  ¹⁶ sn In 1 Kgs 8:10-11 we find a similar event with regard to Solomon’s temple. See also Exod 40:34-35. and Isa 6:4.
