Ezekiel 40:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:8

He measured also the porch of the gate within,
one reed.
] This was either the measure of the breadth of the porch between the opposite chambers on both sides; or rather of the length of that space, which was between the third little chamber and the last gate; and such a space must be supposed to be between the first gate and the first little chamber, which space were three yards and a half; which shows how spacious the churches of Christ will be, and how exactly measured.

Ezekiel 40:8 In-Context

6 Then he went into the gateway facing east, going up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one reed deep;

7 and the side rooms, one reed long, and one reed broad; and the space between the side rooms, five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the vestibule of the gate at the inner end, one reed.

8 Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, eight cubits;

9 and its jambs, two cubits; and the vestibule of the gate was at the inner end.

10 And there were three side rooms on either side of the east gate; the three were of the same size; and the jambs on either side were of the same size.
