John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 40:1-49

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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 40:38

(38) And the chambers and the entries thereof.—These words in the original are in the singular, and have no article. The word for chamber is an entirely different one from that used in the former part of the chapter (Ezekiel 40:10; Ezekiel 40:12-13). The verse should be translated, “And a cell with its door by the posts of the gates; there they washed the burnt offering.” All the arrangements for sacrificing are here described in connection with the north gate, although in Ezekiel 46:2 it is... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 40:1-49

Ezekiel 40:3 Speaking, in Frondes Agrestes (§ 57), of humility and love as associated with the symbolism of the reed in Scripture, Ruskin invites his readers to 'observe the confirmation of these last two images in, I suppose, the most important prophecy, relating to the future state of the Christian Church, which occurs in the Old Testament, namely, that contained in the closing chapters of Ezekiel. The measures of the Temple of God are to be taken; and because it is only by charity and... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:1-49

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

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 40:1-49

Chapters 40-48. The final nine chapters of this book form the climax of the great prophecies of Ezekiel; they belong to the most difficult in the entire prophetic Word. Once more the hand of the Lord rests upon the seer and in the visions of God he is brought into the land of Israel. In the very beginning of this grand finale we learn therefore that the visions concern the land of Israel. Let us remember, that after the fall of Jerusalem had been announced to Ezekiel (Ezekiel 33:21 ), his... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:1-49

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 40:5-49

The Reader will form a better calculation of the extent of this wonderful city, by considering what its dimensions were. A cubit for the sanctuary measurement, was one foot and nine inches; and if the Reader will mark down the whole measurement, he will be able to ascertain the out-grounds of this place. But leaving this part of the subject to his leisure, I really beg his present attention to some of the spiritual things, which we may humbly venture to suppose, were intended in what is here... read more

The Inner Court with its Gates, Cells, and Sacrificial Tables v. 28. And He brought me to the inner court by the south gate, that is, through this gate, so that they were now within the holy court; and He measured the south gate according to these measures, those used for the other parts of the building, v. 29. and the little chambers thereof, the guard-rooms, and the posts thereof and the arches thereof, according to these measures; and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof... read more
