Ezekiel 40:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:22

And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees,
were after the measure of the gate that looked towards the east
( Ezekiel 40:14 Ezekiel 40:16 ) , signifying that the light of the churches, their privileges, and flourishing condition, will be alike everywhere, as in one part of the world, so in another; see ( Isaiah 52:8 ) ( 11:9 ) ( Daniel 12:4 ) : and they went up unto it by seven steps;
or stairs, ( Ezekiel 40:6 ) , the number of them is not there mentioned as here, but the same in both; (See Gill on Ezekiel 40:6): and the arches thereof were before them;
the steps; or "within" them, as the Septuagint; the steps led to the arches of the gate, or to the porch of it, which were more inward.

Ezekiel 40:22 In-Context

20 On the outer court was also a gateway facing north, and he measured its length and its width.

21 Its gate chambers, three on this side and three on that side, its gateposts and its archways, had the same measurements as the first gate; its length was fifty cubits and its width twenty-five cubits.

22 Its windows and those of its archways, and also its palm trees, had the same measurements as the gateway facing east; it was ascended by seven steps, and its archway was in front of it.

23 A gate of the inner court was opposite the northern gateway, just as the eastern gateway; and he measured from gateway to gateway, one hundred cubits.

24 After that he brought me toward the south, and there a gateway was facing south; and he measured its gateposts and archways according to these same measurements.
