40:49. And the length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth
eleven cubits, and there were eight steps to go up to it. And there were
pillars in the fronts: one on this side, and another on that side.
Ezechiel Chapter 41
A description of the temple, and of all the parts of it.
41:1. And he brought me into the temple, and he measured the fronts six
cubits broad on this side, and six cubits on that side, the breadth of
the tabernacle.
The temple... This plan of a temple, which was here shewn to the prophet
in a vision, partly had relation to the material temple, which was to be
rebuilt: and partly, in a mystical sense, to the spiritual temple of
God, the church of Christ.
41:2. And the breadth of the gate was ten cubits: and the sides of the
gate five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and he
measured the length thereof forty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
41:3. Then going inward he measured the front of the gate two cubits:
and the gate six cubits, and the breadth of the gate seven cubits.
41:4. And he measured the length thereof twenty cubits, and the breadth
twenty cubits, before the face of the temple: and he said to me: This is
the holy of holies.
41:5. And he measured the wall of the house six cubits: and the breadth
of every side chamber four cubits round about the house on every side.
41:6. And the side chambers one by another, were twice thirty-three: and
they bore outwards, that they might enter in through the wall of the
house in the sides round about, to hold in, and not to touch the wall of
the temple.
One by another... Or one over another; literally, side to side, or side
upon side.
41:7. And there was a broad passage round about, going up by winding
stairs, and it led into the upper loft of the temple all round:
therefore was the temple broader in the higher parts: and so from the
lower parts they went to the higher by the midst.
41:8. And I saw in the house the height round about, the foundations of
the side chambers which were the measure of a reed the space of six
cubits:
41:9. And the thickness of the wall for the side chamber without, which
was five cubits: and the inner house was within the side chambers of the
house,
And the inner house was within the side chambers of the house... Because
these side chambers were in the very walls of the temple all round. Or,
it may also be rendered (more agreeably to the Hebrew) so as to signify
that the thickness of the wall for the side chamber within, was the same
as that of the wall without; that is, equally five cubits.
41:10. And between the chambers was the breadth of twenty cubits round
about the house on every side.
41:11. And the door of the side chambers was turned towards the place of
prayer: one door was toward the north, and another door was toward the
south: and the breadth of the place for prayer, was five cubits round
about.
41:12. And the building that was separate, and turned to the way that
looked toward the sea, was seventy cubits broad and the wall of the
building, five cubits thick round about: and ninety cubits long.
41:13. And he measured the length of the house, a hundred cubits: and
the separate building, and the walls thereof, a hundred cubits in
length.
41:14. And the breadth before the face of the house, and of the separate
place toward the east, a hundred cubits.
41:15. And he measured the length of the building over against it, which
was separated at the back of it: and the galleries on both sides a
hundred cubits: and the inner temple, and the porches of the court.
