Footnotes

  1. 40–48. In these chapters Ezekiel describes the new temple and its worship. The passage is not meant to be taken historically and, in fact, the later builders of the temple made no attempt to take it literally. The prophet is referring to the Messianic times in symbolic language.
  2. Ezekiel 40:2 Gk: Heb on the south
