Ezechiele 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.

17 Poi mi menò nel cortile esterno, ed ecco c’erano delle camere, e un lastrico tutt’all’intorno del cortile: trenta camere davano su quel lastrico.

18 Il lastrico era allato alle porte, e corrispondeva alla lunghezza delle porte; era il lastrico inferiore.

19 Poi misurò la larghezza dal davanti della porta inferiore fino alla cinta del cortile interno: cento cubiti a oriente e a settentrione.

20 Misurò la lunghezza e la larghezza della porta settentrionale del cortile esterno;
