Ezequiel 41:1 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 41:1

Afterward he brought me to the temple
Having measured the porch into it, its posts, and gate. This is the body of the building, which was the "frame" of a city first shown, the principal fabric; for hitherto he had been only measuring the outward and inner courts, and their gates, and what were in them; but now he is come to the house itself, called a temple; by which not only particular Gospel churches are called, ( 1 Corinthians 3:16 1 Corinthians 3:17 ) ( 2 Corinthians 6:16 ) ( Ephesians 2:21 ) , but the Gospel church state in general, ( Zechariah 6:12 Zechariah 6:13 ) , and especially as in the latter day; so the Philadelphian church state, which represents the spiritual reign of Christ, or the glory of the latter day, is called the temple of my God, ( Revelation 3:12 ) , which will be a holy temple to the Lord where he will dwell in a gracious manner, and be worshipped in spirit and in truth; and here his glory will be seen; it will be built up of precious and costly stones, even living and lively ones; a spiritual house to offer up the spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise: and, as in the material temple or holy place stood the candlestick and table of shewbread; here the light of the Gospel will burn clearly; and Christ the bread of life be held forth in the ordinance of the supper; where, as at a table, saints shall have intimate fellowship with him: and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six
cubits broad on the other side
these were the posts of the door of the temple, and stood on each side of it, on the north and south; and this was the thickness, six cubits or a reed each, three yards and a half; this was the frontispiece of the door of the palace of the King of kings: which was the breadth of the tabernacle;
the tabernacle of Moses; that is, these posts, or this frontispiece, were as broad as the whole tabernacle of Moses was; which had eight boards in the breadth, each board being a cubit and a half, made twelve cubits, just the breadth of these two posts, ( Exodus 26:16 Exodus 26:25 ) , this shows how far superior the Gospel church is to the old synagogue; how larger is the one, and the entrance into it wider, than the other. Some understand by "the tabernacle" the upper lintel, of the same breadth with the posts; and was in a recurve, and as a covering to the door; so the Jewish commentators, and others that follow them.

Ezequiel 41:1 In-Context

1 Después el hombre me llevó al santuario del templo. Midió el espesor de los muros a cada lado del portal y era de tres metros con veinte centímetros.

2 El portal medía cinco metros con treinta centímetros
de ancho y los muros a cada lado tenían una longitud de dos metros con setenta centímetros.
El santuario en sí era de veintiún metros con veinte centímetros de largo y diez metros con sesenta centímetros de ancho.

3 Luego él pasó del santuario a la sala interior. Midió los muros a cada lado de la entrada y tenían un espesor de un metro con diez centímetros.
La entrada medía tres metros con veinte centímetros de ancho y los muros a cada lado de la entrada tenían una longitud de tres metros con setenta centímetros.

4 La sala interior del santuario medía diez metros con sesenta centímetros
de largo y diez metros con sesenta centímetros de ancho. El hombre me dijo: «Este es el Lugar Santísimo».

5 Luego midió el muro del templo y tenía un espesor de tres metros con veinte centímetros. Había una hilera de habitaciones a lo largo del muro exterior; cada habitación medía dos metros con diez centímetros
de ancho.
