Ezequiel 42:6

6 porque estaban en tres pisos, y no tenían columnas como las columnas de los atrios; por tanto, eran más estrechas que las de abajo y las del medio desde la tierra.

Ezequiel 42:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 42:6

For they were in three stories
Not only the galleries or posts, but the chambers; they were one over another; there were the lowermost, middlemost, and uppermost; which, as before, may denote the difference in churches, and the different states, conditions, and characters of those that are in them; some being fathers, others young men, and others little children: or their different offices and relations; some being pastors, others deacons, and others private members: or their knowledge of and profession of faith in the doctrine of the Trinity, the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; and their being baptized in the name of the three divine Persons; and their being built on Christ the foundation, a habitation for God through the Spirit: but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts;
those which supported the porticos and galleries in the courts of the temple, not pillars so thick and strong as they: so the churches represented by these chambers, though they have Gospel ministers, which are as pillars, and valuable members, which are as such, that shall not go out; yet they have not those external supports from great and rich men, but consist generally of the poor of this world, as churches on a civil establishment have, who are supported by the state: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the
middlemost from the ground;
the upper part of it, or the uppermost chambers, were more straitened, and had less room in them, than the middlemost, and the middlemost than the lowest; suggesting, that the more heavenly and spiritual men are, the farther they depart from the men of the world and their conversation, from the sentiments and practices of natural men, the more they are exposed to their scorn and contempt, and are the more afflicted and straitened by them.

Ezequiel 42:6 In-Context

4 Y delante de las cámaras había un corredor de diez codos de ancho a la parte de adentro, con viaje de un codo; y sus puertas hacia el norte.
5 Y las cámaras más altas eran más estrechas; porque las galerías quitaban de las otras, de las bajas y de las de en medio;
6 porque estaban en tres pisos, y no tenían columnas como las columnas de los atrios; por tanto, eran más estrechas que las de abajo y las del medio desde la tierra.
7 Y el muro que estaba afuera enfrente de las cámaras, hacia el atrio exterior delante de las cámaras, tenía cincuenta codos de largo.
8 Porque la longitud de las cámaras del atrio de afuera era de cincuenta codos; y delante de la fachada del Templo había cien codos.
