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.
7 There was an outer wall parallel to the rooms and the outer court; it extended in front of the rooms for fifty cubits.
7 And there was a wall outside parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, opposite the chambers, fifty cubits long.
7 There was an outside wall parallel to the rooms and the outside courtyard. It fronted the rooms for eighty-seven and a half feet.
7 And a wall which was outside ran parallel to the chambers, at the front of the chambers, toward the outer court; its length was fifty cubits.
7 There was an outer wall that separated the rooms from the outer courtyard; it was 87 feet long.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 42:7
Chapter Summary
In this chapter are described the priests' chambers, their use, and the dimensions of the holy mount on which the temple stood. These chambers were many. Jesus said, In my Father's house are many mansions: in his house on earth there are many; multitudes, by faith, are lodging in his sanctuary, and yet there is room. These chambers, though private, were near the temple. Our religious services in our chambers, must prepare for public devotions, and further us in improving them, as our opportunities are.
