The enclosing wall . And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about. The "house"— הַבַּיִת with the article—was the temple as the dwelling-place of Jehovah; only not the temple proper, but the whole complex structure. The "wall" belonged to the outer court; that of the inner court being afterwards mentioned ( Ezekiel 42:7 ). In having a "wall round about" Jehovah's sanctuary resembled both Greek and Babylonian shrines (see Herod; 1.18; ' Records of the Past,' vol.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 40:5-27
God's kingdom divinely organized. It is no part of God's procedure to provide a sketch-plan for his kingdom and allow others to supply the details. In the kingdom of material nature his matchless wisdom has designed the minutest parts. In the construction of the human body he has taken care to do the best in the articulation of every joint—in the interaction of the most delicate organ. So in the building of his spiritual kingdom he has laid down all the essential principles that are to be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 40:6
The east gate . The gate which looketh toward the east ; literally, whose face was toward the east . That this was not the gate in which the angel had been first observed standing seems implied in the statement that he came to it. That he began with it is satisfactorily accounted for by remembering that the east gate was the principal entrance, and stood directly in front of the porch of the temple proper. The same reasons will explain the fullness of description accorded to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 40:6
The gate which looketh toward the east. Let us clearly understand that this is only a prosaic description of part of Jerusalem as the prophet conceives it in his vision of the city rebuilt. We cannot fairly see in these words any profound mystical allusions. But we may use them as illustrations of other things, as we may take nature in illustration of religion without believing that our parables are founded on fixed, objective, Swedenborgen-like correspondences. Let us, then, follow the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 40:6-11
Entrance to the kingdom. Much mention is made, in this description of the temple, of the gates of that building; access was provided in abundance to its interior as well as exterior compartments. Having regard to the kingdom of God (of which this ideal structure is a picture (see previous homily), and taking into our thought the work and the teaching of our Lord on the subject, we learn— I. THAT THERE IS ONE WAY INTO KINGDOM . Jesus Christ himself is that Way. "I am the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 40:7
And every little chamber . Proceeding inward beneath a covered porch, the exact width of the gate and threshold, i.e. ten cubits, the prophet's guide, after having passed the threshold, conducted him to a series of lodges , תָּאִיִם , or "guard-chambers," six in number, three on each side ( Ezekiel 40:10 ), one reed or six cubits square, roofed ( Ezekiel 40:11 ), and separated from each other by a space of five cubits square, open overhead and closed towards the north or south as... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 40:7
And every little chamber was one reed - These were the chambers of the buildings which were within the inclosure of the temple round the court, and these chambers appear to have been numerous. See the map, which has been carefully copied from that of Calmet. read more
