Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 41:8-16
8-16 The interest we think we make for ourselves, we must acknowledge to be God's gift. Daniel was still firm to his religion. Whatever they called him, he still held fast the spirit of an Israelite. These youths scrupled concerning the meat, lest it should be sinful. When God's people are in Babylon they need take special care that they partake not of her sins. It is much to the praise of young people, not to covet or seek the delights of sense. Those who would excel in wisdom and piety, must... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 41:1-11
The Sanctuary Proper and its Side Building v. 1. Afterward He brought me to the Temple, literally, "to the palace," the inner edifice, "of the Temple," and measured the posts, evidently immense half pillars, six cubits broad on the one side and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle, or, "the width of the tent was that. " This reference indicates that the Old Testament sanctuaries, from the time of the first Tabernacle, were only types of the one great... read more

CHAPTER 411And he brought me to the temple, and measured the wall-pillars, six cubits broad on this side, and six cubits broad on that, the breadth of the tent [wasthat]. 2And the breadth of the entrance [the door] was ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance five cubits on this side and five cubits on that; and he measured 3its [the temple’s] length, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits. And he went inward, and measured the wall-pillar of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance,... 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 ). 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 41:5-12
The Side Chambers (Ezekiel 41:5-12 ). It is with a sense of anticlimax that we move to examine more detail of the sanctuary building. Here are described the side chambers (see 1 Kings 6:5-10) possibly intended for different purposes such as the storage of temple equipment and furniture, for tithes and offerings (compare Malachi 3:10) and for fellowship, discussion, and worship among the priests. It reminds us that God accepts the humble as well as the glorious, and it reminds us of the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 41:9
‘The thickness of the wall which was on the outside, which was for the side-chambers, was five cubits, and what was left was the place for the side-chambers which belonged to the house.’ The outer wall supporting the chambers was five cubits thick. ‘What was left’ probably refers to a pavement round the sanctuary (compare Ezekiel 41:11). This was for the benefit of the side-chambers. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 41:10
‘And between the chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.’ The chambers belonging to the sanctuary proper, which have just been described, were separated from any other buildings by a ‘temple yard’ measuring twenty cubits all the way round on the north, south and west sides . This yard was called ‘the separate place’. read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 41:9
House. Because these side-chambers were in the very walls of the temple all around: or it may also be rendered, (more agreeably to the Hebrew) so as to signify, that the thickness of the wall for the side-chambers within was the same as that of the wall without; that is, equally five cubits. (Challoner) --- Protestants, "and that which was left, was the place of the side-chambers that were within." (Haydock) --- To manifest a greater respect for God, the apartments of the priests were... read more
