five hundred in length: Ezekiel 42:16-20

suburbs: or, void places

Reciprocal: Numbers 35:3 - General Ezekiel 42:20 - five hundred Ezekiel 45:1 - ye shall offer

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Of this there shall be for the sanctuary,.... Or temple, the house before described in the preceding chapters:

five hundred in length, and five hundred in breadth, square round about: that is, five hundred reeds square, as is manifest from

Ezekiel 42:16, and this denotes the largeness, perfection, and stability of the church of Christ, which the sanctuary was a type of:

and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof; which were a void place of fifty cubits round about the sanctuary, measuring from the wall to that; this was done in reverence to the holy place, and to show that we should not rush hastily into the house of God, and church of Christ, but first pass through the suburbs or open place. Cubits being here mentioned, show that reeds are to be understood where the kind of measure is not expressed.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The “sanctuary” here probably means the whole temple precincts.

Suburbs - literally, as margin. To mark out more distinctly the sacred precincts, a vacant space of fifty cubits was left on all sides.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 45:2. Of this there shall be for the sanctuary — See the plan, A. Ezekiel 48:35.
