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 Depois disso o homem conduziu-me para o lado norte, para o pátio externo, e levou-me aos quartos opostos ao pátio do templo e ao muro externo do lado norte.
2 O prédio cuja porta dava para o norte tinha cinquenta metros de comprimento e vinte e cinco metros de largura.
3 Tanto na seção que ficava a dez metros de distância do pátio interno quanto na seção oposta ao piso do pátio externo, havia uma galeria frente à outra nos três andares.
4 Em frente dos quartos havia uma passagem interna com cinco metros de largura e cinquenta metros de comprimento. Suas portas ficavam no lado norte.
5 Ora, os quartos superiores eram mais estreitos, pois as galerias tomavam mais espaço deles do que dos quartos do andar inferior e médio.
