에스겔 41:5-9 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 41:1-11

We are still attending a prophet that is under the guidance of an angel, and therefore attend with reverence, though we are often at a loss to know both what this is and what it is to us. Observe here, 1. After the prophet had observed the courts he was at length brought to the temple, Ezek. 41:1. If we diligently attend to the instructions given us in the plainer parts of religion, and profit by them, we shall be led further into an acquaintance with the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 41:5

After he measured the wall of the house six cubits ,.... Or a reed, three yards and a half thick: this was the wall of the holy of holies, or which divided that from the holy place, and was not in the second temple; or rather the wall of the temple, the whole house or building, both of the holy place, and of the most holy, which were contiguous: such a strong wall is the Lord to his church, and especially will be in the latter day, when salvation will be for walls and bulwarks against all... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 41:6

And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order ,.... There were three stories of them, and thirty in every storey, in all ninety; there were such chambers round about Solomon's temple, and so many stories of them, though their number is not expressed, 1 Kings 6:5 , but Josephus F26 Antiqu. l. 8. c. 3. sect. 2. says they were thirty, and one above another, three stories of them, as here. Some think twelve were on the north side, twelve on the south, and six on... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 41:7

And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers ,.... These chambers, as they rose up in stories one above another, were larger and larger; those in the middlemost storey were larger than those in the lower storey by a cubit; so much being taken out of the thickness of the wall, to make the rests or rebatements for the beams of the floor to rest upon, by which so much was gained in breadth for the chambers; and those in the upper storey, for the same reason,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 41:8

I saw also the height of the house round about ,.... Not of the temple itself, but of the chambers, and the three stories of them, which went round about it; and particularly the height of the highest storey, which yet is not given: it could not be so high as the temple itself; for then there would have been no room for windows to let in light into it: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits ; not of the lowest storey of them, for that was but four... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 41:9

The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chambers without, was five cubits ,.... This is the outward wall of the chambers, north and south, which was five cubits thick, made of stone; See Gill on Ezekiel 41:5 , and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within ; this was a void space, not built upon, which was before the chambers that stood within it; and was a space to walk in for those that dwelt in the chambers, or to go in from chamber to chamber;... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 41:6

The side chambers were three - We find by Joseph. Antiq. 8:3, 2, that round Solomon's temple were chambers three stories high, each story consisting of thirty chambers. It is supposed that twelve were placed to the north of the temple, twelve to the south, and six to the east. Entered into the wall - The beams were admitted into the outer wall, but they rested on projections of the inner wall. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 41:7

An enlarging, and a winding about - Perhaps a winding staircase that-widened upward as the inner wall decreased in thickness; this wall being six cubits thick; as high as the first story, five from the floor of the second story to that of the third, and four from the floor to the ceiling of the third story: and thus there was a rest of one cubit in breadth to support the stories. - Newcome. read more

The thickness of the wall - See LLL in the plan. The place of the side chambers - A walk, or gallery of communication along the chambers, five cubits broad, Ezekiel 41:11 . read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 41:5

The measuring commenced with the wall of the house , i.e. with the outer wall, which, beginning at the pillars ( Ezekiel 41:1 ), enclosed the temple on its south, west, and north sides. Its great thickness, six cubits, corresponded with and even surpassed the colossal proportions of architecture in the ancient East. The walls of Solomon's temple, though not mentioned in either Kings or Chronicles, could hardly have been less than four cubits thick (see 1 Kings 6:6 ), and were probably... read more
