Ezekiel 41:6
side chambers ..... stories ........................ side chambers <06763> [one over another. Heb. side chamber over side chamber. thirty in order. or, three and thirty times, or feet.]
We find by Josephus, that around Solomon's temple were chambers three stories high, each story consisting of thirty chambers; which are supposed to have been on the north, south, and east sides of the temple.
offsets <0935> [and they.]
[have held. Heb. be holden.]
supports ......... supports <0270> [but.]
That is, the beams or supporters, of the chambers were not let into the main wall of the temple; but rested on projections of the outer wall, which became a cubit narrower at every story, leaving a ledge of one cubit, to support the beams.
Ezekiel 41:1
brought <0935> [he brought.]
outer sanctuary <01964> [to the temple.]
jambs <0352> [the posts.]
These were probably a sort of door-case on each side of the entrance; and the tabernacle perhaps was a kind of covering to the door, of the same dimensions.
