Footnotes
צֵלָע (*tsela*) — here rendered 'side-chamber' — is the very word used in Genesis 2:22 for the 'rib' taken from Adam to form the woman. Ezekiel's temple has ribs wrapping around it, as if the sanctuary is itself a living body. This is unlikely accidental: the House of YHWH is architecturally described using creation-body language, linking the temple to Eden and to the human form made in the divine image. FOG transliterates *tsela* and glosses it; FOG Message renders 'side chambers' while the intertextual echo between creation and sanctuary remains for the attentive reader.
