Ezekiel 41:3,4 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Then went he inward From the outward sanctuary he went forward toward the holy of holies, and measured the thickness of the partition wall to be two cubits, the entrance itself six cubits, and breadth of the wall, on each side of the door, seven cubits: see Ezekiel 40:48; where the breadth of the gate is taken in the same sense. The breadth of the wall, thus computed, making up fourteen cubits, and being added to the breadth of the entrance itself, makes up twenty cubits; the breadth of the inner sanctuary, as it is set down in the next verse. So he measured the length thereof Of the holy of holies twenty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits It was an exact cube, of the same dimensions in length, breadth, and height: see 1 Kings 6:20; before the temple Or rather, as the words should be rendered, according to the temple; that is, the breadth of it.

4 So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.
