Hesekiel 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.

Hesekiel 42:2 In-Context

1 Und er führte mich hinaus zum äußeren Vorhof gegen Mitternacht und brachte mich zu den Kammern, so gegenüber dem Hofraum und gegenüber dem Gebäude nach Mitternacht zu lagen, {~} {~}
2 entlang den hundert Ellen an der Tür gegen Mitternacht; und ihre Breite war fünfzig Ellen.
3 Gegenüber den zwanzig Ellen des innern Vorhofs und gegenüber dem Pflaster im äußern Vorhof war Umgang an Umgang dreifach.
4 Und inwendig vor den Kammern war ein Weg zehn Ellen breit vor den Türen der Kammern; die lagen alle gegen Mitternacht. {~} {~}
5 Und die obern Kammern waren enger als die untern Kammern; denn die die Umgänge nahmen Raum von ihnen weg.
