18 E o pavimento, isto é, o pavimento inferior, corria junto �s portas segundo o comprimento das portas.

Ezequiel 40:18 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:18

And the pavement by the sides of the gates over against the
length of the gates was the lower pavement.
] That is, this pavement, which went along by every gate, and answered the length of them, and what appertained to them, east, west, north, and south, was either lower than the pavement in the inward court, adjoining to this, to which there was an ascent by steps; or the middle part of this pavement rose up in a convex form, and on all sides there was a declivity; by which means all filth was washed away, and it was kept clean, and always fit to walk on. This distinction of a higher and lower pavement, whether on one account or another, may point out; the one, the believer's walk by faith on Christ; and the other, his walk in the ordinances of Christ, and in all becoming conversation.

Ezequiel 40:18 In-Context

16 Havia também janelas de fechar nas câmaras e nos seus umbrais, dentro da porta ao redor, e da mesma sorte nos vestíbulos; e as janelas estavam � roda pela parte de dentro; e nos umbrais havia palmeiras.

17 Então ele me levou ao átrio exterior; e eis que havia câmaras e um pavimento feitos para o átrio em redor; trinta câmaras havia naquele pavimento.

18 E o pavimento, isto é, o pavimento inferior, corria junto �s portas segundo o comprimento das portas.

19 A seguir ele mediu a largura desde a dianteira da porta inferior até a dianteira do átrio interior, por fora, cem côvados, tanto do oriente como do norte.

20 E, quanto � porta que olhava para o norte, no átrio exterior, ele mediu o seu comprimento e a sua largura.
