Contextual Overview

1 Then he brought me to the outside open space toward the north. He brought me to the rooms which were on the other side of the open space and the building to the north. 2 The building whose door faced north was as long as 100 cubits and as wide as fifty cubits. 3 Over from the place in the inner open space which was as wide as twenty cubits, and over from the stone floor in the outer open space, was a walkway on the three floors, one above the other. 4 In front of the rooms was an inside walkway as wide as ten cubits and as long as 100 cubits. Their doors were on the north. 5 The upper rooms were smaller because the walkways took more away from them than from the rooms on the first and second floors of the building. 6 For the rooms on all three floors had no pillars like the other buildings on the grounds. So the upper rooms were smaller than the ones on the first and second floors. 7 There was an outside wall built beside the rooms toward the outer open space. It was in front of the rooms for fifty cubits. 8 The rooms next to the outer open space were as long as fifty cubits, and those over from the Lord's house were as long as 100 cubits. 9 Below these rooms was a door on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer open space. 10 There were rooms in the width of the wall of the open space toward the east, over from the other open space and the other building.

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.
