Contextual Overview

1 Then he took me unto the temple, - and measured the projection six cubits broad on this side and six cubits broad on that side, the breadth of the tent. 2 And the breadth of the entrance was ten cubits and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on this side and five cubits on that side - and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits. 3 Then went he inwards, and measured the projection of the entrance, two cubits, - and the entrance itself was six cubits, and the sides of the entrance seven cubits: 4 so he measured the length thereof twenty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits, at the front of the temple. 5 Then said he unto me This! is the holy of holies. Then measured he the wall of the house six cubits, - and the breadth of the side-chamber, four cubits round about on every side of the house round about. 6 And the side-chambers, one over another were three, and that thirty times, and they entered into the wall which pertained to the house for the side-chambers round about on every side that they might have support, -and yet not have support in the wall of the house itself. 7 And there was a broadening and a winding about higher and higher to the side-chambers, for the circuit of the house! was higher and higher round about on every side of the house, for this cause was there a broadening of the house upwards, - and from the lower, one ascended to the higher, by that which was in the middle, 8 Then saw I that the house had a height round about on every side, - the foundations of the side- chambers, a full reed, six cubits to the joining. 9 The breadth of the wall which pertained to the side-chamber on the outside was five cubits,- and that which was left vacant between the side-chambers which pertained to the house. 10 And between the chambers, was a breadth of twenty cubits round about the house round about on every side,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chambers without, was five cubits,.... This is the outward wall of the chambers, north and south, which was five cubits thick, made of stone;

:-,

and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within; this was a void space, not built upon, which was before the chambers that stood within it; and was a space to walk in for those that dwelt in the chambers, or to go in from chamber to chamber; which also was five cubits in breadth, as appears from the next verse. This may denote the communion of churches, and the members of them one with another.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And that which was left - i. e., the passage (F) between the side-chambers and the temple-wall, was five cubits Ezekiel 41:11.

The place of the side chambers that were within - Within the side-chambers which belong to the house. The seer is giving first the height of the side-chambers Ezekiel 41:8, and then the breadth, from the outside of the wall of these chambers to the temple-wall.
