Ezekiel 40:5. By the cubit, and an hand-breadth— Each cubit containing a cubit and an hand-breadth, called the great cubit, chap. Eze 41:8 and supposed equal to half a yard. According to Michaelis, the Hebrew measures are: 1. The finger's breadth. 2. Four fingers, or hand-breadth. 3. Ell; the smaller of five hand-breadths, the larger of six. 4. Rod, of six ells. He also allows the Rabbinical account, that a finger is equal to the length of six barley grains. See chap. Ezekiel 43:13. Of the... read more

5. Measures were mostly taken from the human body. The greater cubit, the length from the elbow to the end of the middle finger, a little more than two feet: exceeding the ordinary cubit (from the elbow to the wrist) by an hand-breadth, that is, twenty-one inches in all. Compare Ezekiel 43:13; Ezekiel 40:5. The palm was the full breadth of the hand, three and a half inches. breadth of the building—that is, the boundary wall. The imperfections in the old temple's boundary wall were to have no... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 40:5

The wall 40:5The man first measured the thickness and the height of the wall around the temple complex. Measuring not only provides data but implies ownership (cf. Zechariah 2:1; Revelation 11:1; Revelation 21:15); the man measured as God’s representative. He used the six-cubit reed that was in his hand. The wall was six cubits (one rod) thick and six cubits high. Walls, of course, provided a barrier and guarded the holiness of God in Israel’s earlier tabernacle and temple complexes.A normal... read more

2. The millennial temple 40:5-42:20Earlier Ezekiel hinted that there would be a future temple in the restored Promised Land (Ezekiel 20:40; Ezekiel 37:24-28). Now he described it in considerable detail. [Note: See also the drawings in Allen, Ezekiel 20-48, pp. 231, 233, 234, 258, 282, and 283; and in Block, The Book . . . 48, pp. 508, 509, 520, 541, 550, 565, 572, 573, 598, 603, 711, and 733.] Some of the detail is here to help the reader understand what the writer recorded later about what... read more

The New TempleEzekiel, transported in vision to Palestine, is set down on the N. side of the Temple mountain, and sees the Temple buildings extending to the S. like a city. A supernatural figure, like those in Ezekiel 9, appears, and measures the various parts of the Temple in Ezekiel’s presence (Ezekiel 40:1-4).(a) The Outer Court and its Gateways (Ezekiel 40:5-27)The Outer Eastern Gateway (Ezekiel 40:5-16), Fig. 3, E.

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 40:1-35

§ 2. The Ordinances of the New Israel (Ezekiel 40-48)This concluding section of the book is dated in the twenty-fifth year of Ezekiel’s captivity, i.e. the fourteenth year after the fall of Jerusalem (572 b.c.). It is therefore thirteen years later than the previous section (Ezekiel 33-39), and, with the exception of Ezekiel 29:17-21, forms the latest part of the book. It is in the form of a vision, which is the counterpart of that in Ezekiel 8-11. There God forsook the old Temple which had... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 40:5

(5) By the cubit and an hand breadth.—The sense will be more clearly conveyed by reading, “each being a cubit and a hand-breadth,” i.e., each of the six cubits which made up the reed was an ordinary cubit and a hand-breadth more. It is difficult or impossible to fix with precision the length of the cubit of Scripture, more especially as the value of the measure appears to have changed in the course of ages. In 2 Chronicles 3:3 the measurements of Solomon’s Temple are given “by cubits after the... read more

Ezekiel 40:3 Speaking, in Frondes Agrestes (§ 57), of humility and love as associated with the symbolism of the reed in Scripture, Ruskin invites his readers to 'observe the confirmation of these last two images in, I suppose, the most important prophecy, relating to the future state of the Christian Church, which occurs in the Old Testament, namely, that contained in the closing chapters of Ezekiel. The measures of the Temple of God are to be taken; and because it is only by charity and... read more
