Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 40:5-26

The measuring-reed which was in the hand of the surveyor-general was mentioned before, Ezek. 40:3. Here we are told (Ezek. 40:5) what was the exact length of it, which must be observed, because the house was measured by it. It was six cubits long, reckoning, not by the common cubit, but the cubit of the sanctuary, the sacred cubit, by which it was fit that this holy house should be measured, and that was a hand-breadth (that it, four inches) longer than the common cubit: the common cubit was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 40:5-27

God's kingdom divinely organized. It is no part of God's procedure to provide a sketch-plan for his kingdom and allow others to supply the details. In the kingdom of material nature his matchless wisdom has designed the minutest parts. In the construction of the human body he has taken care to do the best in the articulation of every joint—in the interaction of the most delicate organ. So in the building of his spiritual kingdom he has laid down all the essential principles that are to be... read more

Entrance to the kingdom. Much mention is made, in this description of the temple, of the gates of that building; access was provided in abundance to its interior as well as exterior compartments.

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 40:10

Their measurements, which were equal, were probably as in Ezekiel 40:9 , two... read more

Ezekiel 40:9-12. Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits, &c. This was a portico beyond the little chambers which looked into the first court. It was eight cubits wide, and the two side-posts were two cubits thick, which made up the ten cubits mentioned Ezekiel 40:11. And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three, &c.
