Ezequiel 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.

Ezequiel 42:2 In-Context

1 El hombre me sacó al atrio exterior, en dirección al norte, y me hizo entrar a las habitaciones que estaban hacia el norte, frente al patio cerrado y frente al edificio detrás del templo.
2 Todo esto medía cincuenta metros de largo por el lado norte, y veinticinco metros de ancho.
3 Frente a los diez metros del atrio interior, y frente al enlosado del atrio exterior, había en los tres pisos unas galerías, las cuales quedaban unas frente a las otras.
4 Frente a las habitaciones había un pasillo interior de cinco metros de ancho y cincuenta de largo. Las puertas de las habitaciones daban al norte.
5 Las habitaciones del piso superior eran más estrechas que las del piso inferior y las del piso intermedio, porque las galerías les quitaban más espacio a las de arriba.
