Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 40:5-49

The Measuring of the Temple (Ezekiel 40:5 to Ezekiel 42:20 ). There follows now the measuring in detail of the temple and the temple area, and we may ask what is the purpose of these detailed measurements? In actual fact they were very important for they confirmed the reality of the invisible temple and its purpose. While a visionary temple, it was nevertheless firmly grounded in reality. The measuring made clear to the people a number of facts which they needed to learn. Firstly it stressed... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 40:32-37

The Measurements of the East and North Gates of the Inner Court. ‘And he brought me to the inner court towards the east, and he measured the gate in accordance with these measurements, and its side rooms, and its posts, and its colonnades, in accordance with these measurements. And there were windows in it and in the colonnades round about. It was fifty cubits long and twenty five cubits broad. And its colonnades were towards the outer court, and palm trees were on its posts, on this side and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 40:28-37

Ezekiel 40:28-Haggai : . From the south gate of the outer court he crosses to another court gateway (reached by a flight of steps) which leads to another court— the south gateway of the inner court, which, like that of the outer court, had also guard-rooms on either side; and on the east and north side of the inner court were gateways precisely similar. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 40:1-49

THE IDEAL TEMPLE OF THE FUTURE (Chap. 40)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 40:1. “In the five and twentieth year.” The fiftieth year from the 18th of Josiah, the year of his memorable passover (2 Kings 22:12). The jubilee year began with the month of Tisri, on the tenth day of which was the day of atonement. God allowed the prophet to see the Temple and the future freedom of Israel on the day of jubilee because then servants became free, and on the day of atonement because then the sins of Israel are... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:1-49

We want to get into the study of Ezekiel tonight, and right off the top I would like to confess to you that of all of the Bible and the passages in the Bible, I understand this the least. I do not pretend to have a full and complete understanding of Ezekiel chapters 40 through 48. In fact, I have greater difficulty with these passages than I do any other section of the Bible. And because I do lack personally in an understanding of this section, I do find it extremely difficult to minister from... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 40:1-49

Ezekiel 40:1 . In the five and twentieth year of our captivity. When the pious jews were dispirited, the Lord revived them with the hopes of a better temple than that which Solomon had built. This which Ezekiel now saw, in the visions of God, was of larger dimensions than the whole of old Jerusalem, and the city which he saw was larger than the whole land of Canaan. Consequently, it must be understood of the New Jerusalem, mentioned in the Revelation, a spiritual city and temple, which... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 40:28-37

MEASUREMENTS OF THE INNER COURT WITH ITS GATES, ARRANGEMENTS FOR SACRIFICES, AND CELLS FOR PRIESTS, Ezekiel 40:28-49. 28-37. “The construction and measurements correspond with those of the gates in the outer court, with only two points of difference; namely, that it possessed a flight of eight steps instead of seven, and that the arches or wall projections were toward the outer court. The difference in the number of steps was doubtless of symbolic significance, and pointed not only to the... read more
