Il muro esterno, parallelo alle camere dal lato del cortile esterno, di fronte alle camere, aveva cinquanta cubiti di lunghezza;
E la chiusura, ch’era in fuori, davanti alle camere, traendo verso il cortile di fuori, dirincontro alle camere, era di cinquanta cubiti di lunghezza.

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.
