Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 40:1-4

Here is, 1. The date of this vision. It was in the twenty-fifth year of Ezekiel's captivity (Ezek. 40:1), which some compute to be the thirty-third year of the first captivity, and is here said to be the fourteenth year after the city was smitten. See how seasonably the clearest and fullest prospects of their deliverance were given, when they were in the depth of their distress, and an assurance of the return of the morning when they were in the midnight of their captivity: ?Then the hand of... read more

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 40:1

In the five and twentieth year of our captivity ,.... That is, from Jeconiah's captivity, from whence this prophet begins his dates: he calls it our captivity, because he himself was then carried captive; and this was twenty years after his first vision; see Ezekiel 1:1 , in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month ; the Jews had two beginnings of their year, the one on civil accounts, which was in the autumnal equinox, in the month Tisri, which answers to part of our... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:2

In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel ,.... Or by the spirit of prophecy, as the Targum again; that is, being under the impressions of the Spirit of God, it appeared to him, in a visionary way, as if he was really brought out of Chaldea, and set in the land of Israel; see Ezekiel 8:3 , as John was carried away in the spirit to see the New Jerusalem, Revelation 21:10 , and set me upon a very high mountain ; as John also was, that he might have a view of this... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:3

And he brought me thither ,.... Being brought into the land of Israel in vision, and to a high mountain in it, by which were as the frame of a city; he was from thence brought to the city or temple itself, which looked like one: and, behold , a note of attention and admiration: there was a man ; one in human form; not a created angel, but the Messiah, the builder and owner of the city and temple, whom it was proper the prophet should first have a view of; and by whom he was to be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:4

And the man said unto me, Son of man ,.... The glorious and illustrious Person before described, who appeared in a human form, spoke to the prophet, calling him "the Son of man", a title often bestowed upon him in this prophecy; and here used to put him in mind of his original and decent, and of his meanness and unworthiness; thereby teaching him humility, which is necessary in order to receive instruction, and learn the knowledge of divine things: and also he might use this free and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:5

And behold, a wall on the outside of the house round about ,.... The first thing that presents itself to the view of the prophet, after the sight of the architect or chief builder, is a wall encompassing this strange and wondrous building; which was like the frame of a city, as before observed: this wall was five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad; see Ezekiel 42:20 , now this wall was both for separation and protection; that it was for separation is certain from Ezekiel 42:20 ,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 40:1

In the five and twentieth year of our captivity - According to the date here given, this prophecy was delivered on Tuesday, April 20, A.M. 3430, in the twenty-fifth year of the captivity of Jeconiah, and fourteen years after the taking of Jerusalem. The temple here described by Ezekiel is, in all probability, the same which he saw before his captivity, and which had been burned by the Chaldeans fourteen years before this vision. On comparing the Books of Kings and Chronicles with this... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 40:3

A man, whose appearance was like - brass - Like bright polished brass, which strongly reflected the rays of light. Probably he had what we would term a nimbus or glory round his head. This was either an angel; or, as some think, a personal appearance of our blessed Lord. read more
