Ezekiel 42:18 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 42:18

He measured the south side, five hundred reeds
From the two angles of that side, east and west; and it amounted to just the same number of reeds, even five hundred reeds, or one thousand seven hundred and fifty yards: with the measuring reed;
the same as before; here, and in the next verse, the phrase "round about" is not used, but is to be understood; and having been repeated, there was no need of mentioning it again.

Ezekiel 42:18 In-Context

16 He measured the east side with his measuring rod, and it was 875 feet long.

17 Then he measured the north side, and it was also 875 feet.

18 The south side was also 875 feet,

19 and the west side was also 875 feet.

20 So the area was 875 feet on each side with a wall all around it to separate what was holy from what was common.
