Ezequiel 40:18

18 Este era adjacente às laterais das entradas e sua largura era igual ao comprimento; esse era o piso inferior.

Ezequiel 40:18 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:18

And the pavement by the sides of the gates over against the
length of the gates was the lower pavement.
] That is, this pavement, which went along by every gate, and answered the length of them, and what appertained to them, east, west, north, and south, was either lower than the pavement in the inward court, adjoining to this, to which there was an ascent by steps; or the middle part of this pavement rose up in a convex form, and on all sides there was a declivity; by which means all filth was washed away, and it was kept clean, and always fit to walk on. This distinction of a higher and lower pavement, whether on one account or another, may point out; the one, the believer's walk by faith on Christ; and the other, his walk in the ordinances of Christ, and in all becoming conversation.

Ezequiel 40:18 In-Context

16 As salas e as paredes salientes dentro da entrada eram guarnecidas de estreitas aberturas com parapeito ao redor, como o pórtico; as aberturas que os circundavam davam para a parte interna. As faces das paredes salientes eram decoradas com tamareiras.

17 Depois ele me levou ao pátio externo. Ali eu vi alguns quartos e um piso que havia sido construído ao redor de todo o pátio; nele havia trinta quartos ao longo de todo o piso.

18 Este era adjacente às laterais das entradas e sua largura era igual ao comprimento; esse era o piso inferior.

19 A seguir ele mediu a distância da parte interna da entrada inferior até a parte externa do pátio interno, o que deu cinquenta metros, tanto no lado leste como no lado norte.

20 Mediu depois o comprimento e a largura da porta que dá para o norte e para o pátio externo.
