Bible Comments

The wall; not of the chambers, but some wall at distance from them; perhaps some wall that might keep up a terrace-walk. Over against the chambers; therefore was northward from the chambers. The utter court; the court of the men, or of Israel, which is called utter with respect to this, wherein this building stood, as this was called utter, Ezekiel 42:1,3, with respect to the court that was more inward. On the forepart of the chambers; which evidently shows that the wall of fifty cubits stood north from these chambers. The length thereof was fifty cubits; answerable to the length of this building from east to west.

Ezekiel 42:7

7 And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.
