Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 40:5-26

The measuring-reed which was in the hand of the surveyor-general was mentioned before, Ezek. 40:3. Here we are told (Ezek. 40:5) what was the exact length of it, which must be observed, because the house was measured by it. It was six cubits long, reckoning, not by the common cubit, but the cubit of the sanctuary, the sacred cubit, by which it was fit that this holy house should be measured, and that was a hand-breadth (that it, four inches) longer than the common cubit: the common cubit was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:16

And there were narrow windows to the little chamber ,.... The walls being sloped both within and without, that the light let in might be spread the more: as those "little chambers" signify the several congregated churches of Christ in the Gospel dispensation; See Gill on Ezekiel 40:7 , so these windows design the word and ordinances therein administered, which are the means of letting light into them; see Song of Solomon 2:9 , in attending on these, the light of God's countenance is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 40:5-27

God's kingdom divinely organized. It is no part of God's procedure to provide a sketch-plan for his kingdom and allow others to supply the details. In the kingdom of material nature his matchless wisdom has designed the minutest parts. In the construction of the human body he has taken care to do the best in the articulation of every joint—in the interaction of the most delicate organ. So in the building of his spiritual kingdom he has laid down all the essential principles that are to be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 40:16

And there were narrow (Hebrew, closed ) windows , probably of lattice-work, so fixed as to prevent either egress or ingress. That these "windows" ( חַלּ וֹנוֹת , so called from being perforated) were intended to impart light to the gateway, either in whole or in part, is apparent, though it is difficult to form a clear idea of how they were situated. They were in the chambers, and in their posts and in the arches, or colonnades . In the chambers, or "lodges," they were most... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 40:16

Palms upon the posts: ornamental strength. "Upon each post were palm trees." It is well indeed to bring to the Church of Christ— I. THE CONTRIBUTION OF STRENGTH . There are disciples who add little to the Church but feebleness. They want to be continually comforted or corrected; to be shielded or to be sustained. We feel that the community to which they belong would be the stronger for their absence, except as they supply suitable objects for the exercise of Christian kindness,... read more

Ezekiel 40:15-16. And from the face of the gate, &c. The whole length of the porch, from the outward front unto the inner side, which looked into the first court, was fifty cubits. There were narrow windows to the little chambers, &c. Every one of these little chambers ( Eze 40:7 ) had a narrow window to it, toward the inside of the gate where the passage was; and so there was over the side-posts or fronts placed at the entrance of every chamber; and likewise to the arches The... read more
