Ezekiel 41:5

Ezekiel 41:5

3 Also he went inside and measured the doorposts, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits high; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits.

4 ^aHe measured the length, twenty cubits; and the width, twenty cubits, beyond the sanctuary; and he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”

The Side Chambers on the Wall

5 Next, he measured the wall of the¹ temple, six cubits. The width of each side chamber all around the temple was four cubits on every side.

6 ^aThe side chambers were in three stories, one above the other, thirty chambers in each story; they rested on¹ ledges which were for the side chambers all around, that they might be supported, but ^bnot fastened to the wall of the temple.

7 As one went up from story to story, the side chambers ^abecame wider all around, because their supporting ledges in the wall of the temple ascended like steps; therefore the width of the structure increased as one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the middle one.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Ezekiel 41:4

Ezekiel 41:6 >>

After - Having left the holy of holies, now he is come to take the measures of the outer wall. The house - The temple. Six cubits - Three yards thick was this wall from the ground to the first story of the side - chambers. Side - chamber - Of the lowest floor; for there were three stories of these, and they differed in their breadth, as the wall of the temple, on which they rested, abated of its thickness; for the middle chambers were broader than the lowest by a cubit, and the highest as much broader than the middle. Round about - On the north, south, and west parts, on each side of every one of these three gates.
