Context — The Description of the Temple Courtsgenerated
Ezekiel 46:23 describes the arrangement of the temple courts, detailing how the inner areas were constructed with rows of masonry and cooking places.

The surrounding features are meant to facilitate the rituals and sacrifices performed by the priests, as indicated in the surrounding verses.
Cross References
The Key Word — טוּר, ve.Turgenerated
The noun טוּר (tuhr) refers to a 'row' or 'course,' specifically in contexts like building stones in the temple or jewels on the high priest's breast-piece, as noted in Exodus 28:17. It is derived from an unused root meaning to arrange in a regular manner.
In this verse, it describes a row of masonry, indicating a structured and organized construction. The use of טוּר emphasizes the intentionality behind the temple's design, as each row contributes to the overall stability and aesthetic of the sacred space.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is governed by the subject ט֨וּר, a row, with several phrases hanging off it: a prepositional phrase describing its location, and a noun phrase detailing the cooking places. The structure highlights the arrangement of elements in the temple, emphasizing the thoroughness of the design.
The repetition of סָבִיב serves as an adverbial element, reinforcing the idea of the row being completely enclosed by the cooking areas, thereby creating a sense of completeness in the layout.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates טוּר as ἐχέδραι, which refers to a type of stone or masonry. This choice shows a focus on the physical construction aspect, aligning with the Hebrew meaning.
For מְבַשְּׁל֣וֹת, the LXX does not provide a direct equivalent, indicating a potential interpretive gap regarding the function of these cooking places in the temple context.

On these their families and their friends feasted; and portions were sent to the poor, the widows, and the orphans. And thus the spirit of devotion was the means of preserving the spirit of mercy, charity, and benevolence in the land. How true is that word, "Godliness is profitable for all things."
Read AdamClarke on Ezekiel 46 →CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges23. The description is brief. The “row” is probably not a series of separate buildings running round the court, but a continuous course of building, in which at the bottom (“under” the row) were recesses in which were the hearths where the pots were set in which the sacrifices were cooked. The hearth usually consisted of some stones within which the fire was put and upon which the pot was set.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text describes a row of masonry with ovens around the inside of the four courts, stating, "וְט֨וּר סָבִ֥יב בָּהֶ֛ם סָבִ֖יב לְאַרְבַּעְתָּ֑ם וּמְבַשְּׁל֣וֹת עָשׂ֔וּי מִתַּ֥חַת הַטִּיר֖וֹת סָבִֽיב׃" The Septuagint agrees with the Masoretic Text in its word correspondence, indicating that the essential meaning is preserved across both texts. There are no significant differences noted between these witnesses for this verse, suggesting a strong consistency in the translation and understanding of this passage.
וְט֨וּר סָבִ֥יב בָּהֶ֛ם סָבִ֖יב לְאַרְבַּעְתָּ֑ם וּמְבַשְּׁל֣וֹת עָשׂ֔וּי מִתַּ֥חַת הַטִּיר֖וֹת סָבִֽיב׃
