Ezekiel 41:5 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Having left the holy of holies measured in the 3rd verse, now he is come to take the measures of the outer wall. The house; the temple itself, Six cubits; three yards thick was this wall from the ground to the first story of the side chambers. Every side chamber of the lowest floor; for there were three stories of these, and they differed in their breadth, as the wall of the temple on which they rested abated of its thickness; for the middle chambers were broader than the lowest by a cubit, and the highest as much broader than the middle. Round about; on the north, south, and west parts. On every side; on each side of every one of these three gates. The east gate, and buildings about that, were not faced with such facings.

Ezekiel 41:5

5 After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.
