Ezekiel 40:30 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:30

And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long,
&c.] That is, high; this was the height of them; these were the frontispiece of the gate to the inner court without, and faced the outward court, as appears by the following verse; these were a kind of portico over the eight steps to this gate after mentioned; they were fourteen yards and three inches high, from the bottom to the top of them: and five cubits broad;
two yards and a half, one foot and three inches; and which very probably were the breadth of the steps that came up to them: none of these arches were in the second temple, as Lipman ^F13 observes.

Ezekiel 40:30 In-Context

28 When he brought me to the inner courtyard by way of the South Gate, he took the same measurements of the South Gate.

29 Its rooms, arches, and porch, as well as its windows and porch all the way around, measured the same as the others. It was seventy-five feet long and thirty-seven and a half feet wide.

30 There were porches all around, thirty-seven and a half feet long and seven and a half feet wide.

31 Its porch faced the outer courtyard. Palms decorated its arches, and its stairway had eight steps.

32 Then he brought me to the inner courtyard on the east side, and again he took the same measurements of the gate.
