Yechezkel 40:12

12 The boundary line also before the ta’ot (recesses) was one cubit on this side, one cubit on that side; and the ta were six cubits deep on this side, and six cubits on that side.

Yechezkel 40:12 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:12

The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on
this side
Or, "a border" ^F1 of half a yard and three inches to the front of the chambers; where those that belonged to them might walk, or have seats to sit on; such a space there was before the three little chambers on the north side of the porch: and the space was one cubit on that side:
a space or border of the same measure was to the front of the three little chambers on the south side of the porch: this may denote the Christian liberty of the members of Gospel churches; which they may use without any breach of piety towards God, or of charity one to another: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on
that side;
they were of the same measure, those on one side, as those of the other, even six cubits square; or one reed, which is the same; see ( Ezekiel 40:7 ) , (See Gill on Ezekiel 40:7).

Yechezkel 40:12 In-Context

10 And the ta’im of the sha’ar eastward were shloshah on this side, and shloshah on that side; they three were of the same measurement; and the jambs had the same measurement on this side and on that side.

11 And he measured the width of the petach (opening) of the sha’ar, ten cubits; and the length of the sha’ar, thirteen cubits.

12 The boundary line also before the ta’ot (recesses) was one cubit on this side, one cubit on that side; and the ta were six cubits deep on this side, and six cubits on that side.

13 He [the angelic being] measured then the sha’ar from the ceiling of one ta to the ceiling of another; the width was five and twenty cubits; petach [opening of the recess] was opposite to petach.

14 He [the angelic being] made [measurement] of the ulam, threescore cubits, even unto the jamb of the khatzer at the sha’ar all around.
