Ezekiel 42:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 42:9

And from under these chambers
Or, "from the lower part of these chambers" ^F26; or, "from the lowest" of them there was a space, as may be supplied, and as is by Cocceius and Starchius; and as there was a wall to the west of them, so there was a void space to the east; and as follows: the entry on the east side:
or, "he that brought me from the east" ^F1, as the Keri; and coming eastward to these chambers, one must needs go through this space: as one goeth into them from the utter court;
if a man went eastward into those chambers from the outward court he must go through this space, which lay to the east of the lowest chambers: or the sense is, that from under the north chambers to the south was an entry on the east side, which led from one to the other.

Ezekiel 42:9 In-Context

7 And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the outer court in front of the chambers, was fifty cubits long.

8 For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits; and before the front of the temple were one hundred cubits.

9 And under these chambers was the entry to the temple on the east side, to enter in to it from the outer court.

10 All along the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and in front of the building were chambers.

11 And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they; and all their goings out were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
