エゼキエル書 42:8-12 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 42:1-14

The prophet has taken a very exact view of the temple and the buildings belonging to it, and is now brought again into the outer court, to observe the chambers that were in that square. I. Here is a description of these chambers, which (as that which went before) seems to us very perplexed and intricate, through our unacquaintedness with the Hebrew language and the rules of architecture at that time. We shall only observe, in general, 1. That about the temple, which was the place of public... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 42:8

For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits ,.... Which was the reason why the wall was of the same length, that it might be answerable to them; here length is put for breadth; see Ezekiel 42:2 , this measure was from the north to south, as Lipman F24 Tzurath Beth Hamikdash, sect. 71. observes: and lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits ; as the breadth of the wall and chambers was fifty, so in length, as they were over against the temple,... read more

And from under these chambers ,.... Or, "from the lower part of these chambers" F26 ומיתחת הלשכות הלאה "et ab ima, parte exedrarum", Vatablus; "et infra calles has fuisse spatium ", Cocceius, Starckius. ; or, "from the lowest" of them there was a space, as may be supplied, and as is by Cocceius and Starchius; and as there was a wall to the west of them, so there was a void space to the east; and as follows: the entry on the east side : or, "he that brought me from the east"... read more

The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east ,.... As there were chambers in the northern part of the outward court, some which looked to the north, and others to the south, so likewise some to the east; and these were built on the breadth, as it may be rendered, of the court wall to the east; signifying there will be churches raised in all the northern parts of the world: over against the separate place, and over against the building ; as the other... read more

And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north ,.... The way before these eastern chambers was exactly like to that of the northern chambers; which was either the way of one cubit into them, or the walk of ten cubits before them, or both; signifying that the way into Gospel churches is the same everywhere, and the walk and conversation of the saints the same in all places: as long as they, and as broad as they ; which seems to confirm that... read more

And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south ,.... That is, the doors of these eastern chambers were exactly like to the doors of the southern chambers, as well as to the northern ones: was a door in the head of the way ; or beginning of the way; the door opened into the way of one cubit, and that led into the walk of ten cubits; and such a way and walk were before these eastern chambers as were before the southern and northern ones: even the way directly... read more

Separation and society. What did those "chambers" mean, of which we read so much in this vision? Their immediate use, as intimated to the prophet, is given in the thirteenth and fourteenth verses. They were for the personal accommodation of the priests; that they might there, in a place which was nowise profane but thoroughly holy, eat that part of the sacrifices which fell to their share; and that they might there robe and unrobe, so as to serve in sacred vestments and mingle with the... read more

According to the statement contained in this verse, the chambers that were in the outer court , i.e. the chambers whose windows looked into the outer court, projected fifty cubits into the outer court; i.e. this was their breadth or depth from north to south; whereas those before the temple were an hundred cubits ; i.e. the chambers whose windows fronted the temple, were a hundred cubits from east to west. read more
