Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 40:5
The wall 40:5The man first measured the thickness and the height of the wall around the temple complex. Measuring not only provides data but implies ownership (cf. Zechariah 2:1; Revelation 11:1; Revelation 21:15); the man measured as God’s representative. He used the six-cubit reed that was in his hand. The wall was six cubits (one rod) thick and six cubits high. Walls, of course, provided a barrier and guarded the holiness of God in Israel’s earlier tabernacle and temple complexes.A normal... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 40:5-20
2. The millennial temple 40:5-42:20Earlier Ezekiel hinted that there would be a future temple in the restored Promised Land (Ezekiel 20:40; Ezekiel 37:24-28). Now he described it in considerable detail. [Note: See also the drawings in Allen, Ezekiel 20-48, pp. 231, 233, 234, 258, 282, and 283; and in Block, The Book . . . 48, pp. 508, 509, 520, 541, 550, 565, 572, 573, 598, 603, 711, and 733.] Some of the detail is here to help the reader understand what the writer recorded later about what... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 40:6
Ezekiel’s guide next measured the gate of the city that faced east, that is, the gate complex. He probably measured the east gate first because it was in a direct line with the entrance to the temple building proper. Temple gates provided access but restricted that access in relation to God’s presence. The threshold, the area of the gate at the top of the stairs within the wall (Ezekiel 40:22; Ezekiel 40:26), was one rod (six cubits) deep (10 feet), the thickness of the wall around the whole... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 40:7
Each guardroom in the gate complex was a square one rod long and one rod wide (or six cubits by six cubits, 10 feet by 10 feet, Ezekiel 40:12). There were six guardrooms, three on each side of the hallway through the gate complex (Ezekiel 40:10). A wall five cubits thick separated the guardrooms on the same sides of the hallway from each other. Beyond these guardrooms there was another threshold that led to a large vestibule room. This threshold was the same size as the one at the other end of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 40:8-9
The vestibule stood at the far end of the gate complex and faced the courtyard. It was eight cubits (13 feet 4 inches) deep and 25 cubits (41 feet 8 inches) wide. Evidently the opening from this vestibule into the courtyard was 10 cubits (16 feet 8 inches) wide, but the "side pillars" supporting the doorframes around the opening were one cubit (1 foot 8 inches) wide on each side leaving an opening of eight cubits (13 feet 4 inches). read more
