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

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 40:27-38

In these verses we have a delineation of the inner court. The survey of the outer court ended with the south side of it. This of the inner court begins with the south side (Ezek. 40:27), proceeds to the east (Ezek. 40:32), and so to the north (Ezek. 40:35); for here is no gate either of the outer or inner court towards the west. It should seem that in Solomon's temple there were gates westward, for we find porters towards the west, 1 Chron. 9:24; 26:8. But Josephus says that in the second... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 40:39-49

In these verses we have an account, I. Of the tables that were in the porch of the gates of the inner court. We find no description of the altars of burnt-offerings in the midst of that court till Ezek. 43:18. But, because the one altar under the law was to be exchanged for a multitude of tables under the gospel, here is early notice taken of the tables, at our entrance into the inner court; for till we come to partake of the table of the Lord we are but professors at large; our admission to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:23

And the gate of the inward court was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east ,.... Or, "and as to the east" F8 ולקדים . ; that is, the north gate of the inner court was directly opposite to the north gate of the outward court; just as the eastern gate of the inward court was in a straight line opposite to the eastern gate of the outward court: and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits ; from the north gate of the outward court to the north gate of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:24

After that he brought me toward the south ,.... Having taken the dimensions of the east and north gates, the prophet was had on the south side of the building: and behold a gate toward the south ; that led to the southern part of this fabric, and to the outward court there, exactly like the other two; there was no difference in them, which raised the prophet's wonder and attention; for, as Lipman F11 Tzurath Beth Hamikdash, sect. 17. says, there was no outward court in the second... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:25

And there were windows in it, and in the arches thereof round about ,.... That is, in the little chambers, though not expressed; and in the porches of them on each side, as you passed from the outer to the inner gate: like those windows ; that were in the chambers that were in the east and north gates, Ezekiel 40:7 , the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits ; see Ezekiel 40:13 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:26

And there were seven steps to go up to it ,.... To the south gate, as there were to the east and north gates, Ezekiel 40:6 , and the arches thereof were before them ; See Gill on Ezekiel 40:22 , and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof ; that is, on the posts of this gate were palm trees, two on each post, one on one side, and the other on the other: this verse shows us how many palm trees were painted on the posts, and how they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:27

And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south ,.... Which answered to the gate of the outward court before mentioned: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits ; from the gate of the inward court, to the gate of the outward court southward, were just the same dimensions as in the east and north gates, and between their respective ones, Ezekiel 40:19 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:28

And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate ,.... Having done with the outer court, east, north, and south, the prophet is brought into the inner court by the south gate, which was nearest to enter by. No mention is made of a western gate, there was one in Solomon's temple; for there were porters appointed westward by David, and fixed by Solomon, 1 Chronicles 9:24 , but Josephus F12 De Bello Jud. l. 5. c. 5. sect. 2. Vid. Lipman, Tzurath Beth Hamikdash, sect. 12. says, in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:29

And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures ,.... These were at the gate of the inner court; and so they stand in Cocceius's tables; and were of the same measure with the little chambers, posts, and arches, that were at the several outward gates before described; and design the churches and members of them as spiritual worshippers, who, besides the outward form, have the power of godliness: and there were windows in it, and... read more
