Footnotes
Verses 8–9 present a textual tension that has occupied scholars for centuries: v.8 gives the vestibule depth as one reed (six cubits), while v.9 gives eight cubits—apparently conflicting measurements for the same space. The Septuagint omits v.8 entirely, which many textual critics consider the superior reading, viewing v.8 as scribal dittography. FOG and FOG Message both render the MT as received, trusting the transmitted text while this footnote flags the difficulty.
