Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the gate: The whole arch of the east gate, measured from the southern extremity of one room to the northern extremity of the opposite room, was 25 cubits; including the dimensions of the two rooms, or twelve cubits - Ezekiel 40:7, the spaces before the rooms, or two cubits - Ezekiel 40:12, and the breadth of the entrance, ten cubits - Ezekiel 40:11, making all 24 cubits, leaving one cubit for the thickness of the walls. Ezekiel 40:13
Reciprocal: Ezekiel 40:21 - after
Gill's Notes on the Bible
He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another,.... That is, the whole porch, from the extreme part of the roof of one of the little chambers on the north side, to the extreme part of the roof of another of the little chambers on the south; of the roof of these chambers, and the spiritual meaning of it,
:-:
the breadth was five and twenty cubits; reckoning six cubits to one chamber on one side, and six to one chamber on the other side, which make twelve; and a cubit and a half to each back wall of the chambers on the north and south; or two cubits to the spaces before the chambers, and a cubit and a half to each of the caves of the chambers, which either way make fifteen cubits; and ten cubits the breadth of the gate; in all five and twenty cubits; or fourteen yards and three inches:
door against door; not the door of the outward gate against the door of the inward gate; nor the door of one of the little chambers at the east, to the door of another at the west, running lengthways, and so affording a sight quite through the temple; but the door of one of them on the north side over against the door of another on the south, they answering exactly to each other; which still more confirms the similarity and equality of Gospel churches; :-.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The east gate-building. See Plan III.
Ezekiel 40:6
Stairs - Seven in number Ezekiel 40:22. Each threshold of the gate (was) one reed broad (or 9 ft.). The measurements are being taken from East to west, i. e., in depth.
Ezekiel 40:7
Every little chamber - The guard-chambers (a) for the use of the Levites who kept watch in the temple.
The threshold of the gate by the porch - The second threshold in the easternmost gate-way (c).
Porch - Hebrew ×××× 'uÌlaÌm; the Septuagint: αιÌλαÌμ ailam; Vulgate: vestibulum. The word probably means porch or portico, connected with âailâ post or pillar.
Ezekiel 40:9
The porch is now measured from north to south in âwide.â âThe breadth of the entry of the gateâ was âten cubits,â made up of the âeight cubits,â with âa cubitâ for âa postâ or pillar on each side Ezekiel 40:11.
Posts - A projection like a ramâs horn; in architecture, a column projecting from the wall with its base, shaft, and capital, or it may be the âbaseâ only Ezekiel 40:16, Ezekiel 40:49. Here âpostâ represents the lower part of the column. and the dimensions given are those of the section of the base.
Ezekiel 40:10
In front of each guard-chamber were columns, whose âpostsâ (bases) were each one cubit square.
Ezekiel 40:11
The length of the gate - The length of the gateway (including the porch, E.) from the court to the uncovered space. The threshold was âsix cubits,â and the porch âsix.â In addition one cubit was probably allowed in front of the porch, as before the porch of the temple itself Ezekiel 40:49.
Ezekiel 40:13
This measurement is across the gate-building from north to south. The breadth of the gate-building was exactly half its length Ezekiel 40:15.
Ezekiel 40:14
Posts of threescore cubits - Sixty cubits were the length of a series of columns. This gives us another feature of the gate-building. Between the porch (E) and the two most western guard-chambers was a space of five cubits (through which the road passed), forming a kind of hall with columns along the sides. This hall is called the âarchesâ Ezekiel 40:16. A hall of the same dimensions was between the boundary wall and eastern guard-chambers Ezekiel 40:31. It is probable that in one of these halls (that of the eastern gateway of the inner court) the prince âate breadâ on solemn festivals Ezekiel 44:3.
Unto the post of the court round about the gate - This hall or colonnade extended the whole breadth of the building to the pavement (Ezekiel 40:18, H, Plan II). Outside the building on the pavement was a series of pillars.
Ezekiel 40:15
The whole length of the gate-building was thus made up:
Thickness of boundary wall | 6 cubits |
Hall of the entrance | 5 cubits |
Three guard-chambers (6 cubits) | 18 cubits |
Spaces between guard-chambers | 10 cubits |
Hall of the porch | 5 cubits |
The porch | 6 cubits |
Total | 50 cubits |
Ezekiel 40:16
The ânarrowâ (closed and (?)latticed âwindowsâ lit up both the guard-chambers and the hall. On the square base of the âpostâ stood the shaft in the form of a palm-tree, as we see in ancient buildings in the east.
