John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 41:1-26

The Holy Place (Ezekiel 41:1-2), Fig. 2, B. This was the ’temple’ strictly so called. The posts of its doorway were 6 cubits across (cd). The entrance was 10 cubits wide (cc, dd), and the sidewalls (id, di) were of 5 cubits each. The apartment itself was 40 cubits long and 20 cubits broad.1. Tabernacle] should probably be ’posts.’The Holy of Holies (Ezekiel 41:3-4), Fig. 2, chapter Ezekiel did not accompany the measurer into this sacred chamber. The posts of the entrance (ef) were two cubits... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 41:11

(11) The doors of the side chambers.—These doors opened upon the platform, that for the series on the north side to the north, and for the other to the south. There was but one door on each side, so that the series of chambers must have been entered one from another.We may now sum up the measurements of the Temple with its chambers and surrounding space. The wall, 6 cubits; the chambers, 4; their outer wall, 5; the platform beyond, 5; the space beyond this, 20 (6 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 20 = 40). This... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 41:1-26

Ezekiel 41:1 Neither Jesus Christ, nor Luther and Knox, when they proclaimed the downfall of a corrupt hierarchy, thought of establishing society, by way of reform, upon a secular basis. All alike treated the system they attacked as the perversion of something good and sacred, all alike substituted another Church for that which they destroyed. Our modern reformers who wish to hand over what they take from the Church to the State are of a different type. They are of those who do not understand... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 41:1-26

THE SANCTUARYTHE fundamental idea of the theocracy as conceived by Ezekiel is the literal dwelling of Jehovah in the midst of His people. The Temple is in the first instance Jehovah’s palace, where He manifests His gracious presence by receiving the gifts and homage of His subjects. But the enjoyment of this privilege of access to the presence of God depends on the fulfilment of certain conditions which, in the prophet’s view, had been systematically violated in the arrangements that prevailed... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 41:1-26

THE MILLENNIAL TEMPLE These chapters give a picture of the restored temple at Jerusalem during the Millennium, and of the worship of the Messiah when He shall exercise sway from that center to the ends of the earth. Beginning with Ezekiel 40:1-5 , we have an introduction to the subject: (1) the location and the opening vision (the vision is of a city on the south); (2) a man with a measuring rod; (3) a building surrounded by a wall (Ezekiel 40:5 ). In Ezekiel 40:6-16 the measurement of the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 41:8-16

8-16 The interest we think we make for ourselves, we must acknowledge to be God's gift. Daniel was still firm to his religion. Whatever they called him, he still held fast the spirit of an Israelite. These youths scrupled concerning the meat, lest it should be sinful. When God's people are in Babylon they need take special care that they partake not of her sins. It is much to the praise of young people, not to covet or seek the delights of sense. Those who would excel in wisdom and piety, must... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 41:1-11

The Sanctuary Proper and its Side Building v. 1. Afterward He brought me to the Temple, literally, "to the palace," the inner edifice, "of the Temple," and measured the posts, evidently immense half pillars, six cubits broad on the one side and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle, or, "the width of the tent was that. " This reference indicates that the Old Testament sanctuaries, from the time of the first Tabernacle, were only types of the one great... read more
