Ezekiel 40:29 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:29

And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and
the arches thereof, according to these measures
These were at the gate of the inner court; and so they stand in Cocceius's tables; and were of the same measure with the little chambers, posts, and arches, that were at the several outward gates before described; and design the churches and members of them as spiritual worshippers, who, besides the outward form, have the power of godliness: and there were windows in it, and in the arches thereof round about;
these are not said to be narrow, as the other; which perhaps may denote the greater and more increasing light of the churches, ministers, and members: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad:
that is, the space or portico where these chambers were; and this was the same measure with that where the other chambers were, ( Ezekiel 40:13 Ezekiel 40:15 ) .

Ezekiel 40:29 In-Context

27 Opposite to it, the gate complex for the inner court faced south. He measured the distance across the courtyard from gate to gate: one hundred seventy-five feet.
28 He led me into the inside courtyard through the south gate complex. He measured it and found it the same as the outside ones.
29 Its alcoves, connecting walls, and vestibule were the same. The gate complex and porch, windowed all around, measured eighty-seven and a half by forty-three and three-quarters feet.
30 The vestibule of each of the gate complexes leading to the inside courtyard was forty-three and three-quarters by eight and three-quarters feet.
31 Each vestibule faced the outside courtyard. Palm trees were carved on its doorposts. Eight steps led up to it.
