Ezequiel 42:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 42:2

Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door
That is, the north door of the house opened to a space that lay between that and the chambers, which was a hundred cubits long: and the breadth was fifty cubits;
or the sense is, that the prophet was brought, as Noldius renders the words F20, to a place whose length was an hundred cubits towards the north door;
so that they describe the length and breadth of these chambers, the whole of them; and to this agrees the Arabic version: this account of them makes them larger than Solomon's temple, ( 1 Kings 6:2 ) , which may signify the largeness of these churches; the number of men in them; and the abundance of spiritual blessings and privileges, of light and knowledge, peace and joy, possessed by them: but the measure being oblong, and not foursquare, as the city of the New Jerusalem, ( Revelation 21:16 ) , shows they are not yet come to stability and perfection.

Ezequiel 42:2 In-Context

1 Depois disto fez-me sair para fora, ao átrio exterior, que dá para o norte; e me levou �s câmaras que estavam defronte do largo vazio, e que estavam defronte do edifício, do lado do norte.
2 Do comprimento de cem côvados era esse edifício, e da largura de cinqüenta côvados.
3 Em frente dos vinte côvados, que tinha o átrio interior, e em frente do pavimento que tinha o átrio exterior, havia galeria contra galeria em três andares.
4 E diante das câmaras havia um passeio que dava para o átrio interior, e que tinha dez côvados de largura e cem côvados de comprimento; e as suas portas davam para o norte.
5 Ora, as câmaras superiores eram mais estreitas; porque as galerias tomavam destas mais espaço do que das de baixo e das do meio do edifício.
