10 The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.
10 In the thickness of the wall of the court, on the south
10 On the south side along the length of the courtyard's outside wall and fronting on the Temple courtyard were rooms
10 Also there were chambers in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, opposite the separating courtyard and opposite the building.
10 On the south side of the Temple there were two blocks of rooms just south of the inner courtyard between the Temple and the outer courtyard. These rooms were arranged just like the rooms on the north.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 42:10
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.
