19 Then he turned to the west side and measured; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.
19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
19 Then he turned to the west side and measured, 500 cubits by the measuring reed.
19 Last of all he went to the west side and measured it: eight hundred seventy-five feet.
19 He came around to the west side and measured five hundred rods by the measuring rod.
19 and the west side was also 875Â feet.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 42:19
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.
