Yehezkiel 43:13

The Altar

43:13 “And these are the measurements of the altar: ¹⁴  Its base ¹⁵  is 1¾ feet ¹⁶  high, ¹⁷  and 1¾ feet ¹⁸  wide, and its border nine inches ¹⁹  on its edge. This is to be the height ²⁰  of the altar.

[6:12]  ¹ tn Heb “the one who is left, the one who is spared.”

[8:6]  ² tn Heb “house.”

[16:6]  ³ tc The translation reflects the Hebrew text, which repeats the statement, perhaps for emphasis. However, a few medieval Hebrew manuscripts, the Old Greek, and the Syriac do not include the repetition. The statement could have been accidentally repeated or the second occurrence could have been accidentally omitted. Based on the available evidence it is difficult to know which is more likely.

[36:2]  ⁴ tn Or “high places.”

[36:11]  ⁵ sn These verbs occur together in Gen 1:22, 28; 9:1.

[36:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “your beginning.”

[40:5]  ⁷ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

[40:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “house.”

[40:5]  ⁹ 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]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “building.”

[40:5]  ¹¹ 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).

[40:29]  ¹² tn Heb “fifty cubits” (i.e., 26.25 meters).

[40:29]  ¹³ tn Heb “twenty-five cubits” (i.e., 13.125 meters).

[43:13]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “the measurements of the altar by cubits, the cubit being 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). 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. On the altar see Ezek 40:47.

[43:13]  ¹⁵ tn The Hebrew term normally means “bosom.” Here it refers to a hollow in the ground.

[43:13]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “one cubit” (i.e., 52.5 cm).

[43:13]  ¹⁷ tn The word “high” is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[43:13]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “one cubit” (i.e., 52.5 cm).

[43:13]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “one span.” A span was three handbreadths, or about nine inches (i.e., 22.5 cm).

[43:13]  ²⁰ tc Heb “bulge, protuberance, mound.” The translation follows the LXX.

[43:20]  ²¹ sn Note the similar language in Lev 16:18.

[44:12]  ²² tn Heb “a stumbling block of iniquity.” This is a unique phrase of the prophet Ezekiel (cf. also Ezek 7:19; 14:3, 4, 7; 18:30).

[44:12]  ²³ tn Heb “I lifted up my hand.”

[44:12]  ²⁴ tn Heb “will bear.”
