The Outside Measurements v. 15.

CHAPTER 421And he led me forth to the outer court, the way northwards, and brought me to the chamber [that is, what there was of chambers] which is over against the gizrah, and [in fact] which is over against the building, toward the north. 2Before the length [in front of the length] of a hundred cubits, the opening toward the north, and the breadth fifty cubits. 3Over against the twenty of the inner court, and over against the pavement of the outer court; gallery [was] before gallery in the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 42:1-20
The next section of description deals with the general scheme of buildings surrounding the Temple proper. On the north and south sides were chambers, which are described. These were the holy chambers for the use of the priests, in which they ate the holy things, kept all the materials for the offerings, and changed their garments for the work of their sacred office. Finally, the outside measurements of the whole Temple buildings were given. Passing through the east gate, the angel... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 42:1-20
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

The External Dimensions of the Temple Area (Ezekiel 42:15-20 ). ‘Now when he had finished measuring the inner house he brought me out by way of the gate whose prospect is towards the east, and measured it round about. He measured on the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about. He measured on the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. He measured on the south side, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. He... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 42:20
‘He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall round about, the length five hundred and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.’ This is the grounds for arguing a further wall to enclose the area of separation. If we read ‘reeds’ all through this must be so. Compare the ‘separate place’ around the sanctuary. We must remember in these measurements that we are not talking about an earthly temple but a heavenly temple. Thus arguments... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 42:15-20
Ezekiel 42:15-Proverbs : . The description of the Temple concludes with a summary of the principal measurements, according to which the whole enclosure is 500 cubits ( i.e. 750 feet) square. According to Ezekiel 48:12, the land beyond the Temple enclosure was holy; but naturally it was less holy than the courts and buildings which stood within it. The wall, therefore, marks the boundary between that which was holy and that which was relatively profane. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 42:15
The inner house; the holy of holies, the temple, and all the buildings that were in it, and its inner courts. He brought me forth, quite out to the outmost court, and wall of it, which compassed all the rest of the courts. Toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east; to the east gate of the outside wall, mentioned Ezekiel 40:6, which see. Round about, i.e. the four squares of the wall for this, as the other walls, was square, not round, and therefore this round about is to be understood... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 42:20
Cubits. This confirms the former correction, ver. 16. (Haydock) --- Hebrew has only, "of five hundred." Maldonat and Cornelius a Lapide would understand reeds, to agree with what goes before. (Menochius) --- Separation. Josephus mentions a wall three cubits high, on the pillars of which was written in Greek and Latin, that such as entered the temple must be pure, (Calmet) and no stranger. (Haydock) --- Into this court all might come. (Philo) (Calmet) read more
