Now, the building that was before the separate place, literally, "the off-place," apparently a building where the refuse and offal of the Temple-worship were deposited, at the end, toward the west, was seventy cubits broad; and the wall was seventy cubits broad, for at the great festival seasons the amount of waste material was very great; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, or of the same thickness as the wall farther... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 41:1-26

Passing to the Temple proper, the prophet portrayed it first from the outside, describing the actual Temple, with its Holy Place, and Holy of Holies, then the side chambers; and, finally, another separate building, ending with the general dimensions of the inner court, the house buildings, and the separate building. This was followed by a description of the woodwork within, and its ornamentation. The technicalities are difficult to follow, but it is clear that the general effect of the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 41:1-26

The Measuring of the Temple (Ezekiel 40:5 to Ezekiel 42:20 ).

The measuring made clear to the people a number of facts which they needed to learn. Firstly it stressed... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 41:15-26

Ezekiel 41:15-: . The interior of the Temple was boarded or panelled— no stone was to be seen— the walls were carved with double-faced cherubs and palm-trees. In front of the most holy place was a small altar of wood, apparently to be identified with the table of the shew-bread (in olden times regarded as food for the God). Between the holy and the most holy place were carved doors with swinging wings. (The meaning of the words in Ezekiel 41:15 and Ezekiel 41:26 rendered “ galleries and... read more
