John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 42:19

He turned about to the west side ,.... And took the dimensions of that, from angle to angle, the south and north points of it: and measured five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed ; and it was exactly of the same measure with the other three sides. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 42:20

He measured it by the four sides ,.... Which were equilateral, parallel to each other, each measuring five hundred reeds; which in all made up two thousand reeds, or seven thousand yards: this shows that no material building can be designed; never was an edifice of such dimensions; this seems rather to describe a city than a temple; and denotes the largeness of the Gospel church state in the latter day, when the Jews will be converted, and the fulness of the Gentiles brought in: it had a... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 42:1

He brought me forth into the utter court - He brought him out from the temple into the court of the priests. This, in reference to the temple, was called the outer court; but the court of the people was beyond this. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 42:20

It had a wall round about - to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place - The holy place was that which was consecrated to the Lord; into which no heathen, nor stranger, nor any in a state of impurity, might enter. The profane place was that in which men, women, Gentiles, pure or impure might be admitted.

The outer court. There was an outer court in the temple of Jerusalem, held to be less sacred than the courts nearer to the holy place; to this court Gentiles were admitted. I. THERE IS AN OUTER COURT IN ALL RELIGION . There are always people who seem to stand midway between the Church and the world. In some cases they are like Elijah's contemporaries, halting between two opinions ( 1 Kings 18:21 ). They may be described as like the scribe who was "not far from the... read more
