Ezekiel 40:19 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

The breadth — Of the whole ground between the inner front of one gate and porch, to the outer front of the next gate more inward to the temple. The lower gate — Called so in respect to the next gate, which was on the higher ground. The forefront — To the outside front of the gate of the priests court, which was next to this gate now measured, that is from the west front of the lower to the east front of the upper gate. The inner court — This court from the west front of the lower gate, was one hundred cubits in length to the east front of the gate of the inner court. East — ward and north — ward — And so was the space from the south front of the court to the north front. So the court was exactly square. Divers courts are here spoken of, which may put us in mind, of the diversity of gifts, graces and offices in the church: as also of the several degrees of glory in the courts and mansions of heaven.
