Ezekiel 40:44-49
inner .......... inner <06442> [the inner.]
chambers <03957> [chambers.]
chamber <03957> [chamber.]
The word chamber probably here denotes a row of chambers, of which there seems to have been three: one for the singers; one for the priests who in their courses took charge of the sacred vessels and treasures; and one for the priests who attended on the altar and sacrifices.
faces <06440> [whose.]
keep <08104> [the keepers.]
charge <04931> [charge. or, ward, or, ordinance, and so ver.]
keep <08104> [the keepers.]
descendants ...... descendants <01121> [these.]
approach <07131> [which come.]
court <02691> [court.]
This was the inner court, or court of the priests, which was of the same dimensions with each division of the outer court; and the altar stood directly before the porch of the temple.
175 ... long ... 175 feet <03967 0520 0753> [an hundred cubits long.]
porch ........... porch <0197> [the porch.]
The length of the porch was twenty cubits, the same as the breadth of the temple, and the breadth eleven cubits, that is, one cubit more than in Solomon's temple. Two bivalve, or folding doors, each leaf of them being three cubits wide, seem to have formed the entrance; which, with five cubits, perhaps of brick or stone work, one each side, called "the post of the porch," amount to sixteen cubits; and the other four cubits may be supposed to have been the distance from these posts to the outside walls of the temple.
steps <04609> [The steps.]
This was a flight of steps which led from the inner court into the temple.
pillars <05982> [pillars.]
