Ezekiel 41:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 41:9

The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chambers
without, was five cubits
This is the outward wall of the chambers, north and south, which was five cubits thick, made of stone; (See Gill on Ezekiel 41:5), and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were
within;
this was a void space, not built upon, which was before the chambers that stood within it; and was a space to walk in for those that dwelt in the chambers, or to go in from chamber to chamber; which also was five cubits in breadth, as appears from the next verse. This may denote the communion of churches, and the members of them one with another.

Ezekiel 41:9 In-Context

7 The side rooms all around the temple were wider at each successive level. The structure surrounding the temple was built in ascending stages, so that the rooms widened as one went upward. A stairway went up from the lowest floor to the top floor through the middle floor.

8 I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the length of the rod, six long cubits.

9 The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick. The open area between the side rooms of the temple

10 and the priests’ rooms was twenty cubits wide all around the temple.

11 There were entrances to the side rooms from the open area, one on the north and another on the south; and the base adjoining the open area was five cubits wide all around.
