Ezekiel 40:11
Ezekiel 40:18
Ezekiel 40:30
porches <0361> [the arches.]
These are supposed to have been built over the spaces which separated the little chambers, or porters' lodges.
43¾ ..... 8¾ <02568 06242> [five and.]
43¾ feet .... 8¾ feet <0520 02568> [five cubits.]
Instead of five cubits, it seems evident, from the parallel places, that we should read twenty-five: the word {ˆsrim} appears to have been lost out of the text.
wide <07341> [broad. Heb. breadth.]
Ezekiel 42:2
<06440> [Before.]
Perhaps this means, that the north door was 100 cubits from the entrance into the court; and that the door-way, or portico, was 50 cubits in length; or, that it faced one of the cloisters, the length of which was 100 cubits, and its breadth 50, which was the proportion of all the cloisters.
Ezekiel 43:16
21 ... long ... 21 <08147 0753> [twelve cubits.]
square <07251> [square.]
Ezekiel 48:9
Ezekiel 45:1
When ... allot ... land .................. land <05307 0776> [shall divide by lot. Heb. cause the land to fall by lot.]
offer <07311> [ye shall offer.]
holy ........................... holy <06944> [an holy portion. Heb. holiness.]
length ........ miles <0753> [the length.]
That our translators rightly added the word reeds, is evident from the length and breadth of the sanctuary being exactly the same as before, (comp. ver. 2, with ch. 42:16-19.) Estimating the reed at 3« yards, this holy oblation would constitute a square of nearly fifty miles on every side. From the north side a portion of nearly twenty miles in width, and nearly fifty in length, was appointed for the priests; and in the midst of this portion, the area of the sanctuary, about a mile square, to be enclosed by a wall, (ver. 1, 2.) Next to this, on the south, was the Levites' portion, of the same dimensions as that of the priests', (ver. 5;) and south of this was the portion for the city, of the same length as those of the priests and Levites, but only half the width, (ver. 6.) These three formed the square of 25,000 reeds, or nearly fifty miles; and that set apart for the prince, the breadth of which is not mentioned, extended in length from north to south, along the east and west sides of the square. As Canaan would not admit of so large a portion for the sanctuary, etc., this was no doubt intended to intimate the large extent of the church in the glorious times predicted.
Ezekiel 48:13
eight and a quarter miles ..... three and one-third .......... eight and a quarter miles ..... three and one-third miles <06242 0505 02568> [five and twenty thousand in.]
