エゼキエル書 41:12 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 41:12-26

Here is, 1. An account of a building that was before the separate place (that is, before the temple), at the end towards the west (Ezek. 41:12), which is here measured, and compared (Ezek. 41:13) with the measure of the house, and appears to be of equal dimensions with it. This stood in a court by itself, which is measured (Ezek. 41:15) and its galleries, or chambers belonging to it, its posts and windows, and the ornaments of them, Ezek. 41:15-17. But what use was to be made of this other... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 41:12

Now the building that was before the separate place ,.... The "separate place" is the holy of holies, which was separated by a vail under the second temple, and by a wall as in this, and the first from the holy place: "before or over against" which was a building, as it is rendered, Ezekiel 41:15 , a new building, not before taken notice of: and it was situated at the end toward the west : or "sea" F5 הים "ad mare, Piscator; obversa mari", Cocceius, Starckius. , the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 41:12

The length thereof ninety cubits - The temple, with the buildings which surrounded it, was eighty-one cubits long; add ten cubits for the vestibule, or five for the breadth of the separate place, and five for its wall; in all, ninety cubits. See the plan, LHIL. By the separate place I suppose the temple itself is meant. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 41:12

The building that was before the separate place. The word הַגּזְרָה , occurring only in this chapter, and translated "separate place," is derived from a root signifying to "cut off ," and here denotes a space behind the temple on the west, which was marked off from the rest of the ground on which the temple with its courts and chambers stood, and devoted most likely to less sacred purposes. Behind Solomon's temple lay a similar space ( 2 Kings 23:11 ; 1 Chronicles 26:18 ), with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 41:12

Solidity. "The wall of the building was five cubits thick." This suggests a solid structure. I. THE STRUCTURE OF SALVATION IS SOLID . The temple was strong as a castle. Indeed, it was used as a fortress in the time of the Roman siege of Jerusalem, and was the last part of the city to yield to the foe. The Church of God is better than an ark on the waters; it is a mighty fortress, built upon a strong foundation, and strongly protected by the presence of God. We need not fear... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 41:12

The separate place - See F, Plan II. The word occurs only in this chapter. The name, which seems one of discredit, has led to the conjecture that the purpose of this place and its building was to receive the offal of the sacrifices and sweepings of the courts, to be carried thence by a postern gate (compare Ezekiel 43:21). The building itself was, we are told, seventy cubits wide, with walls five cubits thick (eighty cubits in all), leaving ten cubits on each side to make up the 100 cubits from... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 41:12-14

Ezekiel 41:12-14. Now the building, &c. This seems to be another building not before mentioned, but now measured by itself. So he measured the house The whole temple, oracle, sanctuary, and porch, with the walls, which were in length a hundred cubits from east to west, which may be thus computed: CUBITS. The thickness of the wall of the east porch 5 The passage through the porch 11 The wall between the porch and the temple 6 The outward sanctuary 40 The partition wall 2 The holy of... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 41:1-26

The temple proper (40:48-41:26)From the inner court the way into the temple proper was up a flight of steps on the western side of the court, between two pillars at the top of the steps, and through a vestibule or entrance room (48-49). From the vestibule an entrance led into the nave or Holy Place (the outer sanctuary). From the nave a narrower entrance led into the Most Holy Place (the inner sanctuary) (41:1-4).Attached externally to the sides and rear of the temple proper were three storeys... read more

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
