Yechezkel 42:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 42:9

And from under these chambers
Or, "from the lower part of these chambers" ^F26; or, "from the lowest" of them there was a space, as may be supplied, and as is by Cocceius and Starchius; and as there was a wall to the west of them, so there was a void space to the east; and as follows: the entry on the east side:
or, "he that brought me from the east" ^F1, as the Keri; and coming eastward to these chambers, one must needs go through this space: as one goeth into them from the utter court;
if a man went eastward into those chambers from the outward court he must go through this space, which lay to the east of the lowest chambers: or the sense is, that from under the north chambers to the south was an entry on the east side, which led from one to the other.

Yechezkel 42:9 In-Context

7 And the wall that was outside over against the leshakhot, toward the khatzer hakhitzonah on the forepart of the leshakhot, the length thereof was fifty cubits.

8 For the length of the leshakhot that were in the khatzer hakhitzonah was fifty cubits; and, hineh, before the Heikhal were a hundred cubits.

9 And from below these leshakhot was the entrance on the east side, as one goeth into them from the khatzer hakhitzonah.

10 In the thickness of the wall of the khatzer toward the east, facing the Gizrah, and over against the Binyan, were leshakhot (side rooms).

11 And the derech before them was like the appearance of the leshakhot which were toward the north, as long as they, and as wide as they; and all their exits were both according to their arrangements, and according to their doorways.
