Ezekiel 42:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 42:10

The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court
toward the east
As there were chambers in the northern part of the outward court, some which looked to the north, and others to the south, so likewise some to the east; and these were built on the breadth, as it may be rendered, of the court wall to the east; signifying there will be churches raised in all the northern parts of the world: over against the separate place, and over against the building;
as the other chambers were; (See Gill on Ezekiel 42:1).

Ezekiel 42:10 In-Context

8 For the length of the chambers which [were] to the outer courtyard [was] fifty cubits, and look! [The chambers] on the front of the temple [were] a hundred cubits.
9 And from under these chambers [was] the entrance from the east for them {when one enters} from the outer courtyard.
10 All along the width of the wall of the courtyard {eastward} in front of the courtyard to the front of the building [were] chambers.
11 And a walkway [was] {before them} like the appearance of the chambers which [were on] {the north}, [just] like [them in] their length, [and] so [was] their width and all their exits, and [they were built] like their arrangements and like their doorways,
12 and like the doorways of the chambers which [were on] the way of the south [was] [a] doorway at the head of the way {before} the stone wall, projecting [on] the way of the east at their coming.
