Ezekiel 40:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:22

And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees,
were after the measure of the gate that looked towards the east
( Ezekiel 40:14 Ezekiel 40:16 ) , signifying that the light of the churches, their privileges, and flourishing condition, will be alike everywhere, as in one part of the world, so in another; see ( Isaiah 52:8 ) ( 11:9 ) ( Daniel 12:4 ) : and they went up unto it by seven steps;
or stairs, ( Ezekiel 40:6 ) , the number of them is not there mentioned as here, but the same in both; (See Gill on Ezekiel 40:6): and the arches thereof were before them;
the steps; or "within" them, as the Septuagint; the steps led to the arches of the gate, or to the porch of it, which were more inward.

Ezekiel 40:22 In-Context

20 He also measured the length and width of the gateway of the outer court facing north.

21 Its three gate chambers on each side, its side pillars, and its portico all had the same measurements as the first gate: fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

22 Its windows, portico, and palm trees had the same measurements as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them.

23 There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured the distance from gateway to gateway to be a hundred cubits.

24 Then he led me to the south side, and I saw a gateway facing south. He measured its side pillars and portico, and they had the same measurements as the others.
