Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In front of each guard-chamber were columns, whose "posts" (bases) were each one cubit square.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And the little chambers of the gate eastward,.... Where the man now was, and was measuring; and the like chambers there were in the other gates, and of the same measure; of which chambers See Gill on Ezekiel 40:7,

were three on this side, and three on that side; three on the right side of the porch to the north, and three on the left side of it to the south:

they three were of one measure; one reed, or three yards and a half square, as in Ezekiel 40:7.

and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side; on the right and left, north and south of the inward gate of the porch, which measure was two cubits, Ezekiel 40:9.


Geneva Study Bible

And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.


Wesley's Notes

40:10 Chambers - These chambers were for the priests and Levites to lodge in during their ministration.


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

40:1-49 The Vision of the Temple. - Here is a vision, beginning at ch. 40, and continued to the end of the book, ch. 48, which is justly looked upon to be one of the most difficult portions in all the book of God. When we despair to be satisfied as to any difficulty we meet with, let us bless God that our salvation does not depend upon it, but that things necessary are plain enough; and let us wait till God shall reveal even this unto us. This chapter describes two outward courts of the temple. Whether the personage here mentioned was the Son of God, or a created angel, is not clear. But Christ is both our Altar and our Sacrifice, to whom we must look with faith in all approaches to God; and he is Salvation in the midst of the earth, Ps 74:12, to be looked unto from all quarters.


Ezekiel 40:7 The alcoves for the guards were one rod long and one rod wide, and the projecting walls between the alcoves were five cubits thick. And the threshold of the gate next to the portico facing the temple was one rod deep.
Ezekiel 40:9 it was eight cubits deep and its jambs were two cubits thick. The portico of the gateway faced the temple.
Ezekiel 40:11 Then he measured the width of the entrance to the gateway; it was ten cubits and its length was thirteen cubits.
Ezekiel 40:29 Its alcoves, its projecting walls and its portico had the same measurements as the others. The gateway and its portico had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

the little Eze 40:7

they three The entrance into the outer court seems to have been through a porch with doors at both ends; and on each side of this porch were three small chambers, or rooms, for the use of the porters, a reed square in size, with a passage of five cubits between them. The common cubit, termed the `cubit of a man,' (De 3:11) was about 18 inches; but the cubit used by the angel was, as we learn from (ch 43:13), `a cubit and a hand breadth,' or about three inches more than the common cubit, that is 21 inches. Hence the measuring reed, which was `six cubits long, by the cubit and the hand breadth,' (ver. 5) must have been about 10:5 feet
