Ezekiel 41:12-14 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Now the building, &c. This seems to be another building not before mentioned, but now measured by itself. So he measured the house The whole temple, oracle, sanctuary, and porch, with the walls, which were in length a hundred cubits from east to west, which may be thus computed:

CUBITS.

The thickness of the wall of the east porch 5 The passage through the porch 11 The wall between the porch and the temple 6 The outward sanctuary 40 The partition wall 2 The holy of holies 20 The thickness of the west wall 6 The side-chambers at the west end 5 The outer wall of those chambers 5 Also the breadth of the face of the house The front of the temple eastward was a hundred cubits.

Ezekiel 41:12-14

12 Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.

13 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;

14 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits.
