Ezekiel 41:2

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.

And the breadth of the door was ten cubits ,.... The temple door: great care is taken to observe and give the dimensions of the doors and gates of various places; to put us in mind of Christ the door and gate into the church, and into fellowship with God: this was as broad again as the door of Solomon's temple; for that was but the fourth part of the wall of it, five cubits, 1 Kings 6:1 , and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side ;... read more
