The chambers . As the verse explains, these were different from the guard-rooms in the gates ( Ezekiel 40:7 , Ezekiel 40:21 ) and the chambers on the pavement ( Ezekiel 40:17 ), although the same Hebrew word is employed to designate the latter. The cells under consideration were expressly designed for washing "the inwards and the legs" of the victims brought for sacrifice (Le Ezekiel 1:9 ). Whether such a cell stood at each of the three gates, as the plural seems to indicate,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 40:38
Sacrifice essential to human worship. The entrances and vestibules of the new temple were planned on a magnificent scale. The mind of the worshipper would be naturally impressed both with the greatness of the Proprietor and with the transcendent importance of the use to which it was devoted. But by what methods will the Sovereign Majesty of heaven be approached? More and more this question oppresses a reflecting man. As he gains the central courts of the temple the answer is clear.

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 40:39-42
The tables . These were twelve in number, of which eight were used for slaughtering purposes, i.e. either for slaying the sacrifices or for laying upon them the carcasses of the slaughtered victims; and the remaining four for depositing thereon the instruments employed in killing the animals. Of the eight, four stood within the porch of the gate, two on each side, and four without—two on the side as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate ; rather, at the shoulder to one going up to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:46
And the chamber whose prospect is towards the north ,.... The row of chambers on the side of the east gate; that side of it that was towards the north, and which the chambers in it faced: is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar ; the ministers of the Gospel, that take care of the altar, of public worship; that preach the Gospel, and administer ordinances; and who are to be taken care of themselves, and live of the Gospel, and have everything provided for them that is... read more
