Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 41:12
Ezekiel 41:12. Now the building &c.— The word בנין binian, translated building, signifies a wall or inclosure, which ran along the outside of the priests' court, commensurate with the breadth of the western side of the temple, which was seventy cubits from north to south; and extended in length from east to west ninety cubits; ten cubits shorter than the whole area itself, and inclosing a void space of five cubits breadth, which lay between the side chambers and the inclosure; which area... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 41:1
1. tabernacle—As in the measurement of the outer porch he had pointed to Solomon's temple, so here in the edifice itself, he points to the old tabernacle, which being eight boards in breadth (each one and a half cubits broad) would make in all twelve cubits, as here. On the interior it was only ten cubits. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 41:4
4. thereof—of the holy of holies. before the temple—that is, before, or in front of the most holy place (so "temple" is used in 1 Kings 6:3). The angel went in and measured it, while Ezekiel stood in front, in the only part of the temple accessible to him. The dimensions of the two apartments are the same as in Solomon's temple, since being fixed originally by God, they are regarded as finally determined. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 41:5
5. side chamber—the singular used collectively for the plural. These chambers were appendages attached to the outside of the temple, on the west, north, and south; for on the east side, the principal entrance, there were no chambers. The narrowness of the chambers was in order that the beams could be supported without needing pillars. The plan is similar to that of the hall at Koyunjik, a large central hall, called the oracle, with smaller rooms built round it. read more

6. might . . . hold, but . . . not hold in . . . wall of the house— :- tells us there were rests made in the walls of the temple for supports to the side chambers; but the temple walls did not thereby become part of this side building; they stood separate from it. "They entered," namely, the beams of the chambers, which were three-storied and thirty in consecutive order, entered into the wall, that is, were made to lean on rests projecting from the wall. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 41:6
Ezekiel 41:6. And they entered into the wall— At five cubits' height from the ground, the wall, or the buttresses which supported the outward chambers, abated of their thickness one cubit, and there was a rest or ledge of one cubit in breadth, on which the end of the rafters of each story was fastened; for they had not hold in the wall of the house. They were not fastened into the main wall of the house, but rested on the outside of the wall, where it grew narrower. See Lowth, and Houbigant's... read more
