Ezequiel 40:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:14

He made also posts of threescore cubits
Jerom thinks, that between the outward wall which surrounded this building, and the building itself, these posts or pillars were placed for ornament, which took up the space of sixty cubits; but rather these design the posts or columns of the gate, which supported the arch over it, on which were rooms or stories, and these were sixty cubits high; for of their height is this measure to be understood. So the Targum,

``and he made posts, sixty cubits was their height;''

in the Targum, in the Polyglot Bible by Montanus, it is,

``and he made sixty posts, their height a cubit:''

and to this agree Jarchi and Kimchi; these were thirty five yards high, the height of the temple ordered to be built by Cyrus, ( Ezra 6:3 ) . The man that measured is said to "make" these posts, he being the builder as well as the measurer of this edifice; and might be said to make these as, by measuring, he pointed out the size and proportion of them: these posts may design the true members of Gospel churches, such who are pillars in the house of God; of which see more on ( Ezekiel 40:16 ) , compare the phrase of "making" these posts or pillars with ( Revelation 3:12 ) : even unto the post of the court round about the gate;
that is, there was the same measure to every post or pillar in every court, at every gate round about; at the southern and northern gates, as at this eastern one; they were all exactly of the same measure as the posts in this; so Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it.

Ezequiel 40:14 In-Context

12 Y el espacio de delante de las cámaras, de un codo de una parte, y de otro codo la otra; y cada cámara tenía seis codos de una parte, y seis codos de otra.

13 Y midió la puerta desde el techo de una cámara hasta el techo de la otra, veinticinco codos de anchura, puerta contra puerta.

14 E hizo los portales de sesenta codos, cada portal del atrio y del portal por todo alrededor.

15 Y desde la delantera de la puerta de la entrada hasta la delantera de la entrada de la puerta de dentro, cincuenta codos.

16 Y había ventanas estrechas en las cámaras, y en sus portales por dentro de la puerta alrededor, y asimismo en los arcos; y las ventanas estaban alrededor por dentro; y en cada poste había palmas.
