Ezekiel 41:4 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 41:4

So he measured the length thereof twenty cubits
That is, of the most holy place, from east to west; which was the measure of it in Solomon's temple, ( 1 Kings 6:20 ) : and the breadth twenty cubits before the temple:
that is answerable or according to the breadth of the temple or holy place; which was also twenty cubits in breadth: this stood at the west end of it, and was equal in breadth to it; see ( 1 Kings 6:2 1 Kings 6:20 ) : and he said unto me, this is the most holy place;
the divine Person in human form said to the prophet, take notice of this building; this answers to the most holy place in the temple. This was an emblem of the most holy and perfect state of the church on earth; it represents the New Jerusalem church state, that holy city, and into which nothing shall enter that defiles; and, as in the most holy place, the divine Shechaniah or majesty of God dwelt; so here will dwell in person the God-man and Mediator, the head of the church, our Lord Jesus; whose tabernacle will now be with men, in this perfect state, raised from the dead, and he will dwell among them: and as this most holy place in its dimensions is a foursquare, so is the holy city described; denoting its stability and perfection; see ( Revelation 21:2 Revelation 21:3 Revelation 21:16 Revelation 21:27 ) .

Ezekiel 41:4 In-Context

2 The entrance was 17 and a half feet wide. Each of its side walls was almost nine feet wide. He also measured the Holy Room. It was 70 feet long and 35 feet wide.

3 Then he went into the Most Holy Room. There he measured the doorposts at the entrance. Each one of them was three and a half feet wide. The entrance itself was ten and a half feet wide. Each of its side walls was a little over 12 feet wide.

4 He also measured the Most Holy Room. It was 35 feet long and 35 feet wide. He said to me, "This is the Most Holy Room." It was beyond the back wall of the Holy Room.

5 Then the man measured the wall of the temple. It was ten and a half feet thick. Each side room around the temple was seven feet wide.

6 The side rooms were on three floors. There were 30 rooms on each floor. Ledges had been built all around the wall of the temple. So the floor beams of the side rooms rested on the ledges. The beams didn't go into the temple wall.
