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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:19

Then he measured the breadth from the fore front of the lower gate ,.... That is, from the front of the inner eastern gate before mentioned, Ezekiel 40:7 , called the lower gate, in respect of the gate opposite to it, which led into the inner court, to which there was an ascent of eight steps; and which the Targum calls the middle gate, because it lay between the eastern outward gate, and the gate of the inward court.

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 40:17-19

The outer court . Emerging from the doorway inwards, the prophet, accompanied by his celestial guide, stepped into the outward court, i.e. the area surrounding the temple buildings. There the first thing observed was that chambers and a pavement ran round the court. The chambers were cells, or rooms— לִשָׁכוֹת always signifying single rooms in a building (see Ezekiel 42:1 ; 1 Chronicles 9:26 )—whose dimensions, exact sites, and uses are not specified, though, as they were... read more

Ezekiel 40:19. Then he measured the breadth, &c., a hundred cubits eastward and northward He measured the whole space of ground between the west front of the lower gate, (namely, the gate at the east end of the outer court,) and the east front of the upper gate, which led into the inner court, and found it a hundred cubits; the same was the space between the south front and the north front: so the court was exactly square.
