In the ESV we read these words concerning Ezekiel’s temple: “He measured the east side with the measuring reed, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around. He measured the north side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around. He measured the south side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed” (Ezek 42:16-18). If we compare this with the AV, we read 500 reeds instead of 500 cubits. Why is there a significant difference between the two translations and how did the change come about?
