Ezekiel 42:7

7 And the outermore hall closing the walking place was by the chambers, that were in the way of the outermore foreyard, before the chambers; the length thereof was of fifty cubits. (And the outside wall enclosing the walking place was by the rooms, that were on the way of the outer courtyard, and in front of the rooms; its length was fifty cubits.)

Ezekiel 42:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 42:7

And the wall that was without over against the chambers
This wall separated and distinguished the chambers from the outward court, as well as was a protection of them; and signifies the grace and power of God, which separates his true churches from the world, and is the security of them; (See Gill on Ezekiel 11:5) this was towards the utter court, on the fore part of the chambers;
or front of them, which seems to be to the north of them; since their doors were towards the north, ( Ezekiel 42:4 ) , though Cocceius makes it to be to the west, which better agrees with what follows: the length thereof was fifty cubits;
which answers to the breadth of the chambers, ( Ezekiel 42:2 ) and what is called length here, with respect to the wall, is called the breadth with respect to the chambers. The wall of divine protection is equal to the length and breadth, and even the whole compass, of the churches of Christ.

Ezekiel 42:7 In-Context

5 where (the) chambers were lower in the higher things; for those bare up the porches that appeared on high of those from the lower things, and from the middle things of the building.

6 For those were of three stages, and had not pillars, as were the pillars of [the] foreyards; therefore those stood on high from the lower things, and from the middle things from [the] earth, by fifty cubits. (For they were of three stages, and did not have pillars, like the pillars of the courtyards; and so they stood on high from the ground, from the lower things, and from the middle things.)

7 And the outermore hall closing the walking place was by the chambers, that were in the way of the outermore foreyard, before the chambers; the length thereof was of fifty cubits. (And the outside wall enclosing the walking place was by the rooms, that were on the way of the outer courtyard, and in front of the rooms; its length was fifty cubits.)

8 For the length of the chambers of the outermore foreyard was of fifty cubits, and the length before the face of the temple was of an hundred cubits. (For the length of the rooms of the outer courtyard was fifty cubits, and the length of the rooms facing the Temple was a hundred cubits.)

9 And under these chambers was an entering from the east, of men entering into those, from the outermore foreyard, (And under these rooms was an entrance from the east, for people entering into them, from the outer courtyard,)
