Ezekiel 40:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 40:5

3 He took me there, and behold, there was a man whose appearance was ^alike the appearance of bronze. ^bHe had a line of flax ^cand a measuring rod in his hand, and he stood in the gateway.

4 And the man said to me, ^a“Son of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears, and¹ fix your mind on everything I show you; for you were brought here so that I might show them to you. ^bDeclare to the house of Israel everything you see.”

5 Now there was ^aa wall all around the outside of the¹ temple. In the man’s hand was a measuring rod six² cubits long, each being a cubit and a handbreadth; and he measured the width of the wall structure, one rod; and the height, one rod.

6 Then he went to the gateway which faced ^aeast; and he went up its stairs and measured the threshold of the gateway, which was one rod wide, and the other threshold was one rod wide.

7 Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide; between the gate chambers was a space of five cubits; and the threshold of the gateway by the vestibule of the inside gate was one rod.
