Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 40:5-26

The measuring-reed which was in the hand of the surveyor-general was mentioned before, Ezek. 40:3. Here we are told (Ezek. 40:5) what was the exact length of it, which must be observed, because the house was measured by it. It was six cubits long, reckoning, not by the common cubit, but the cubit of the sanctuary, the sacred cubit, by which it was fit that this holy house should be measured, and that was a hand-breadth (that it, four inches) longer than the common cubit: the common cubit was... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 40:27-38

In these verses we have a delineation of the inner court. The survey of the outer court ended with the south side of it. This of the inner court begins with the south side (Ezek. 40:27), proceeds to the east (Ezek. 40:32), and so to the north (Ezek. 40:35); for here is no gate either of the outer or inner court towards the west. It should seem that in Solomon's temple there were gates westward, for we find porters towards the west, 1 Chron. 9:24; 26:8. But Josephus says that in the second... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:17

Then brought he me into the outward court ,.... The divine and glorious Person in human form, having brought the prophet up to the eastern gate, and through it, and the porch that belonged to it, to the inner gate of it, which lay westward; and having measured that gate, its threshold, the porch, the posts or pillars, and little chambers in it; introduced him into a spacious piece of ground, that lay open to the air, and surrounded the whole building; and answers to the court of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:18

And the pavement by the sides of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement. That is, this pavement, which went along by every gate, and answered the length of them, and what appertained to them, east, west, north, and south, was either lower than the pavement in the inward court, adjoining to this, to which there was an ascent by steps; or the middle part of this pavement rose up in a convex form, and on all sides there was a declivity; by which means all filth... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:19

Then he measured the breadth from the fore front of the lower gate ,.... That is, from the front of the inner eastern gate before mentioned, Ezekiel 40:7 , called the lower gate, in respect of the gate opposite to it, which led into the inner court, to which there was an ascent of eight steps; and which the Targum calls the middle gate, because it lay between the eastern outward gate, and the gate of the inward court. Now there were from hence, unto the fore front of the inner court... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:20

And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north ,.... Or the north gate of this building: having finished the dimensions of the eastern gate, those of the north gate are taken: he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof ; as he had the eastern gate, and which were the same; and so of the south gate, Ezekiel 40:24 , which denotes the uniformity in religion in the latter day, in the way of entrance into the churches, and in doctrine, discipline, worship, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:21

And the little chambers thereof were three on this side, and three on that side ,.... As in the eastern gate, and the measures the same, Ezekiel 40:7 . Gospel churches in the latter day will be all on the same plan, and modelled according to the same pattern, and be in just the same order, one as another: and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, were after the same measure of the first gate ; the eastern gate: believers will be all pillars in the church of God, and partakers of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:22

And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were after the measure of the gate that looked towards the east ,.... Ezekiel 40:14 , signifying that the light of the churches, their privileges, and flourishing condition, will be alike everywhere, as in one part of the world, so in another; see Isaiah 52:8 , and they went up unto it by seven steps ; or stairs, Ezekiel 40:6 , the number of them is not there mentioned as here, but the same in both; See Gill on Ezekiel... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:23

And the gate of the inward court was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east ,.... Or, "and as to the east" F8 ולקדים . ; that is, the north gate of the inner court was directly opposite to the north gate of the outward court; just as the eastern gate of the inward court was in a straight line opposite to the eastern gate of the outward court: and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits ; from the north gate of the outward court to the north gate of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:24

After that he brought me toward the south ,.... Having taken the dimensions of the east and north gates, the prophet was had on the south side of the building: and behold a gate toward the south ; that led to the southern part of this fabric, and to the outward court there, exactly like the other two; there was no difference in them, which raised the prophet's wonder and attention; for, as Lipman F11 Tzurath Beth Hamikdash, sect. 17. says, there was no outward court in the second... read more
