13 And he saith unto me, 'The north chambers, the south chambers, that 'are' at the front of the separate place, they 'are' holy chambers, where the priests (who 'are' near to Jehovah) eat the most holy things, there they place the most holy things, and the present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering, for the place 'is' holy.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 42:13

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.
