- Ezekiel 40:36 tn Heb “twenty-five cubits” (i.e., 13.125 meters).
- Ezekiel 40:37 tc The LXX reads “porches.”
- Ezekiel 40:38 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.
