Ezekiel 41:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 41:9

The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chambers
without, was five cubits
This is the outward wall of the chambers, north and south, which was five cubits thick, made of stone; (See Gill on Ezekiel 41:5), and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were
within;
this was a void space, not built upon, which was before the chambers that stood within it; and was a space to walk in for those that dwelt in the chambers, or to go in from chamber to chamber; which also was five cubits in breadth, as appears from the next verse. This may denote the communion of churches, and the members of them one with another.

Ezekiel 41:9 In-Context

7 The side rooms of the temple were wider as we went up floor by floor. A stairway went from the lowest floor all the way up to the top floor. It passed through the middle floor.

8 I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it. The base formed the foundation of the side rooms. It was as long as one measuring rod. So it was ten and a half feet long.

9 The outer wall of each side room was almost nine feet thick. The open area between the side rooms of the temple

10 and the priests' rooms was 35 feet wide all around the temple.

11 The side rooms had entrances from the open area. One was on the north side. Another was on the south. The base next to the open area was almost nine feet wide all around.
