エゼキエル書 42:8-12 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 42:9

The chambers were approached by an entry (in the text the entry , this being a well-known and recognized part of the structure) which ran along the east side of the building, and led from the outer to the temple court. As this (the outer) court was higher than that (the temple), and could only be reached by steps, "the entry" is represented as lying under the chambers. It was manifestly this "entry" that was screened by the fence mentioned in Ezekiel 42:7 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 42:10-12

A similar suite of chambers, corresponding in every detail, is depicted as having stood upon the south side of the temple and in front of the gizrah. The only question among interpreters is whether Ezekiel 42:10 relates to the north or south suite, or to an east suite. Schroder and Currey see in Ezekiel 42:10 a repetition, from another point of view, of what has already been stated about the north chambers, viz. that, viewed from the outer court, they appeared in the thickness or breadth... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 42:9

The entry from these chambers to the temple-court was by a passage lying to the east fenced off by the “wall” Ezekiel 42:7. This passage is described as lying under the chambers, being on the basement, and also having access by steps to the temple-court, which was raised many steps above the outer court. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 42:10

Render it: Breadth-wise (was) the wall Ezekiel 42:7 toward the east; in front of the separate place and of the building (were) the chambers: i. e., on the east was “the wall” (“geder”); along the boundary wall of “the separate place” and of the “building” (the temple) lay the “chambers.” read more

Translate: And along the front of them - like (literally as the appearance of) the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they and as broad as they, and (like) all their goings out, and like their fashions, and like their doors, even so were the doors of the chambers which were toward the south; (with) a door at the head of the way, the way of the wall adjoined eastward as one entereth into them (the chambers). read more

The priests’ rooms (42:1-20)Ezekiel now gives further details concerning the rooms for the priests located in the inner court (see 40:44-47).
