Ezekiel 41:17 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 41:17

To that above the door, even unto the inner house
The meaning is, either there were such windows as before described above the door of the eastern gate, that led into the holiest of all, and even unto the inner house, or holy of holies: and without; and to all the side, chambers that were built without it: and by all the wall round about within and without;
both within the holy place, and without, in the places adjoining to it, on all sides, west, north, and south; or all were cieled with cedar wood, that it might be more capable of being ornamented, either with gold, or with the decorations mentioned in the following verses: or the sense is, that all these were measured exactly: for it follows, "by measure"; or to all these "were measures" F13; the dimensions were taken; every thing in the Gospel church state, whether in its less or more perfect state, will be all according to rule and measure.

Ezekiel 41:17 In-Context

15 And he measured the length of the building {facing the courtyard} {at the rear} and its galleries, {a hundred cubits on each side}, and [also] the temple, the court, and the porticos of the courtyard,
16 the thresholds and the framed windows and the galleries around the three of them. Before the threshold [was] a covering of wood all around, and [from] the ground up to the windows, and [all around] the windows, [they were] covered.
17 {Above} the doorway and up to the inner temple and on the outside, and on all of the wall {all the way around} in the inner and in the outer [areas] [were] {patterns},
18 and [it was] made of cherubim and palm tree images; a palm tree image between cherub and cherub, and {the cherub had two faces}.
19 And [the] face of a human {was toward} the palm tree image {on the one side}, and [the] face of a fierce strong lion {faced} the palm tree image {on the other side}; {this work was executed} for the entire temple {all the way around}.
