Contextual Overview

1 And he brought me out into the outer court northward. And he brought me into the room that was across from the separate area, which was in front of the building to the north. 2 To the face of its length was a hundred cubits, toward the north door, and fifty cubits wide. 3 Across from the twenty cubits which were to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which was to the outer court, was gallery on the face of gallery, in three stories. 4 And before the rooms was a walk ten cubits wide, to the inside, a way of one cubit. And their doors were toward the north. 5 And the upper rooms were shorter, for the galleries used up more space than the lower and middle ones in the building. 6 For they were in three stories , and there were no columns to them like the columns of the courts. So the third was made narrower than the lower and middle stories from the ground. 7 And the wall that was outside near the rooms the way of the outer court, on the face of the rooms, its length was fifty cubits. 8 For the length of the rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. And, behold, in the face of the temple was a hundred cubits. 9 And under these rooms was the entrance on the east side as one goes into them from the outer court. 10 In the width of the wall of the court eastward, to the face of the separate area, and to the face of the building were rooms.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the wall that was without over against the chambers,.... This wall separated and distinguished the chambers from the outward court, as well as was a protection of them; and signifies the grace and power of God, which separates his true churches from the world, and is the security of them; :-

this was towards the utter court, on the fore part of the chambers; or front of them, which seems to be to the north of them; since their doors were towards the north, Ezekiel 42:4, though Cocceius makes it to be to the west, which better agrees with what follows:

the length thereof was fifty cubits; which answers to the breadth of the chambers, Ezekiel 42:2 and what is called length here, with respect to the wall, is called the breadth with respect to the chambers. The wall of divine protection is equal to the length and breadth, and even the whole compass, of the churches of Christ.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The “wall” here must be one from north to south, fencing off from the outer court the passage along the east side of the chambers, and therefore fifty cubits long.
