Contextual Overview

27The inner court had a gate toward the south; and he measured from gate to gate toward the south, one hundred cubits. 28Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate; and he measured the south gate according to those same measurements. 29Its guardrooms also, its side pillars, and its porches were according to those same measurements. And the gate and its porches had windows all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 30There were porches all around, twenty-five cubits long and five cubits wide. 31Its porches were toward the outer court; and palm tree ornaments were on its side pillars, and its stairway had eight steps. 32Then he brought me into the inner court toward the east. And he measured the gate according to those same measurements. 33Its guardrooms also, its side pillars, and its porches were according to those same measurements. And the gate and its porches had windows all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 34Its porches were toward the outer court; and palm tree ornaments were on its side pillars, on each side, and its stairway had eight steps. 35Then he brought me to the north gate; and he measured it according to those same measurements, 36with its guardrooms, its side pillars, and its porches. And the gate had windows all around; the length was fifty cubits and the width twenty-five cubits.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

the arches: These are supposed to have been built over the spaces which separated the little chambers, or porters' lodges.

five and: Ezekiel 40:21, Ezekiel 40:25, Ezekiel 40:29, Ezekiel 40:33, Ezekiel 40:36

five cubits: Instead of five cubits, it seems evident, from the parallel places, that we should read twenty-five: the word êsrim appears to have been lost out of the text.

broad: Heb. breadth

Reciprocal: Ezekiel 40:16 - arches

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long,.... That is, high; this was the height of them; these were the frontispiece of the gate to the inner court without, and faced the outward court, as appears by the following verse; these were a kind of portico over the eight steps to this gate after mentioned; they were fourteen yards and three inches high, from the bottom to the top of them:

and five cubits broad; two yards and a half, one foot and three inches; and which very probably were the breadth of the steps that came up to them: none of these arches were in the second temple, as Lipman m observes.

m Tzurath Beth Hamikdash, sect. 22.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 40:30. And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long — That the five cubits broad should be read twenty-five is evident from Ezekiel 40:21; Ezekiel 40:25; Ezekiel 40:29; Ezekiel 40:33; Ezekiel 40:36, The word ועשרים veesrim, twenty, has probably been lost out of the text. Indeed the whole verse is wanting in two of Kennicott's MSS., one of De Rossi's, and one of mine, (Cod. B.) It has been added in the margin of mine by a later hand. It is reported to have been anciently wanting in many MSS.
