Ezechiele 40:19 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:19

Then he measured the breadth from the fore front of the lower
gate
That is, from the front of the inner eastern gate before mentioned, ( Ezekiel 40:7 ) , called the lower gate, in respect of the gate opposite to it, which led into the inner court, to which there was an ascent of eight steps; and which the Targum calls the middle gate, because it lay between the eastern outward gate, and the gate of the inward court. Now there were from hence, unto the fore front of the inner court without, an hundred cubits;
to the outside of the gate was such a length, or fifty eight yards and one foot: eastward and northward;
as so it was from east to west, so from north to south, and from south to north; there was just the same distance from the gate that led into the outward court to that which led into the inward court, on all sides; see ( Ezekiel 40:23 Ezekiel 40:27 ) a man may be a long while an outward court worshipper before he is an inward court worshipper; the passage through the one to the other is long.

Ezechiele 40:19 In-Context

17 Poi mi menò nel cortile esterno, ed ecco c’erano delle camere, e un lastrico tutt’all’intorno del cortile: trenta camere davano su quel lastrico.

18 Il lastrico era allato alle porte, e corrispondeva alla lunghezza delle porte; era il lastrico inferiore.

19 Poi misurò la larghezza dal davanti della porta inferiore fino alla cinta del cortile interno: cento cubiti a oriente e a settentrione.

20 Misurò la lunghezza e la larghezza della porta settentrionale del cortile esterno;

21 Le sue camere di guardia erano tre di qua e tre di là; i suoi pilastri e i suoi archi avevano la stessa misura della prima porta: cinquanta cubiti di lunghezza e venticinque di larghezza.
