Ezekiel 40:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:10

And the little chambers of the gate eastward
Where the man now was, and was measuring; and the like chambers there were in the other gates, and of the same measure; of which chambers (See Gill on Ezekiel 40:7): were three on this side, and three on that side;
three on the right side of the porch to the north, and three on the left side of it to the south: they three were of one measure;
one reed, or three yards and a half square, as in ( Ezekiel 40:7 ) and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side;
on the right and left, north and south of the inward gate of the porch, which measure was two cubits, ( Ezekiel 40:9 ) .
