Ezekiel 41:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 41:10

And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits,
&c.] Not the side chambers before mentioned, as if there was the space of twenty cubits between each chamber; for another word is used; more probably the meaning is, that between the side chambers, or the void space before them of five cubits, and the chambers which were in the court facing them, was such a wideness of twenty cubits: round about the house on every side;
on all sides of the temple, where the above chambers were, west, north, and south.

Ezekiel 41:10 In-Context

8 And I saw for the temple a platform {all the way around} the foundations of the side rooms; [it was] the length of a full reed, six cubits long.
9 The width of the [outside] wall, which [was] for the side room to the outside, [was] five cubits, and [a space] that was set between [the] side rooms, which [was] for the temple
10 and between the chambers [was the] width of twenty cubits all around the temple, {all the way around} [it].
11 And the doorway of the side room {faced} the open area; one doorway {faced} {the north}, and one doorway [was] to the south, and the width of the place of the open area [was] five cubits all around.
12 And the building that {faced} the courtyard {was toward the west}, [and] its width [was] seventy cubits, and the wall of the building [was] five cubits wide {all the way around}, and its length [was] ninety cubits.
