Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
before: Passing from the north to the south side of the temple - Ezekiel 42:11, Ezekiel 42:12, the prophet was shewn that the space of ground, which was before the temple on the east, measured 100 cubits. Ezekiel 42:8
Reciprocal: Ezekiel 11:18 - General
Gill's Notes on the Bible
For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits,.... Which was the reason why the wall was of the same length, that it might be answerable to them; here length is put for breadth; see Ezekiel 42:2, this measure was from the north to south, as Lipman x observes:
and lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits; as the breadth of the wall and chambers was fifty, so in length, as they were over against the temple, they were an hundred cubits, as in Ezekiel 42:2, unless the account is to be taken thus; that the row of chambers towards the north were fifty cubits long, and the row towards the south over against the other was fifty cubits, and so both made a hundred; to which sense is the Septuagint version,
"for the length of the chambers that look to the outward court was fifty cubits, and those (that is, those that looked to the temple, or were before that) answered to them, the whole a hundred cubits;''
that is, both rows made a hundred cubits; but rather, as Lipman y says, the chambers contained from east to west a hundred cubits.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The length - From north to south.
Before the temple - This describes their position in a general way; more precisely they lay over against partly the “separate place” and partly the “temple-court” Ezekiel 42:1.
