Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 42:15-20

The dimensions of the temple enclosure 42:15-20When the man had finished measuring the temple and the structures immediately associated with it, he led Ezekiel out the east outer gate. He measured the exterior of the temple wall, and it was 500 cubits (about 833 feet 4 inches) on each of its four sides (cf. Revelation 21:13). The Hebrew text has "rods" rather than "reeds." This would result in the walls being 3,000 cubits (5,000 feet) on each side and the temple enclosure being almost one mile... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 42:1-20

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 9:0, appears, and measures the various parts of the Temple in Ezekiel's presence (Eze 40:1-4).(a) The Outer Court and its Gateways (Eze 40:5-27)The Outer Eastern Gateway (Eze 40:5-16), Fig. 3, E. For the following details see Fig. 1. The outer boundary of the Temple was a wall 6... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 42:1-20

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's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 42:1-20

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 42:13-20

There is somewhat particularly striking in the account here given of the holy chambers, and the uses intended for them. In the Hebrew the expression is beautiful; they are the holinesses of holinesses: see Leviticus 2:3 . And what do we learn from hence, but that Jesus, our Great High Priest, is here set forth, our New Testament Altar, Sacrifice, and Sacrificer! I wish all true followers of the Lord Jesus would keep this in remembrance, for then we should hear no more of calling that place the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 42:15-20

The Outside Measurements v. 15. Now, when He had made an end of measuring the inner house, the Temple-buildings proper, He brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east and measured it round about, the outer circumference of all that was comprised within the Sanctuary area. v. 16. He measured the east side with the measuring-reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about. v. 17. He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round... read more

CHAPTER 421And he led me forth to the outer court, the way northwards, and brought me to the chamber [that is, what there was of chambers] which is over against the gizrah, and [in fact] which is over against the building, toward the north. 2Before the length [in front of the length] of a hundred cubits, the opening toward the north, and the breadth fifty cubits. 3Over against the twenty of the inner court, and over against the pavement of the outer court; gallery [was] before gallery in the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 42:1-20

The next section of description deals with the general scheme of buildings surrounding the Temple proper. On the north and south sides were chambers, which are described. These were the holy chambers for the use of the priests, in which they ate the holy things, kept all the materials for the offerings, and changed their garments for the work of their sacred office. Finally, the outside measurements of the whole Temple buildings were given. Passing through the east gate, the angel... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 42:1-20

The Measuring of the Temple (Ezekiel 40:5 to Ezekiel 42:20 ). There follows now the measuring in detail of the temple and the temple area, and we may ask what is the purpose of these detailed measurements? In actual fact they were very important for they confirmed the reality of the invisible temple and its purpose. While a visionary temple, it was nevertheless firmly grounded in reality. The measuring made clear to the people a number of facts which they needed to learn. Firstly it stressed... read more
