Ezekiel 40:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:8

He measured also the porch of the gate within,
one reed.
] This was either the measure of the breadth of the porch between the opposite chambers on both sides; or rather of the length of that space, which was between the third little chamber and the last gate; and such a space must be supposed to be between the first gate and the first little chamber, which space were three yards and a half; which shows how spacious the churches of Christ will be, and how exactly measured.

Ezekiel 40:8 In-Context

6 Then the man went to the gate that faced east. He climbed its steps. He measured the gateway. It was one rod wide.

7 The rooms where the guards stood were one rod long and one rod wide. The walls between the rooms were almost nine feet thick. The gateway next to the porch was one rod wide. The porch faced the front of the temple.

8 Then the man measured the porch of the gateway.

9 It was 14 feet wide. Each of its doorposts was three and a half feet thick. The porch of the gateway faced the front of the temple.

10 Inside the east gate were three rooms on each side. All of the rooms were the same size. The walls on each side of the rooms had the same thickness.
