Eight tables 44. The chambers 48. The porch of the house Then he went to the gate facing east The phrase "Then he went to the gate facing east" begins with the directional movement of the prophet Ezekiel, guided by a divine messenger. The "gate facing east" holds significant symbolic meaning in biblical literature. In Hebrew, the word for "east" is "קֶדֶם" (qedem), which not only denotes a direction but also carries connotations of antiquity and beginnings. The east gate is particularly important in Ezekiel's vision because it is associated with the glory of God returning to the temple (Ezekiel 43:1-5). Historically, the east was considered the direction of divine revelation and presence, as the sun rises in the east, symbolizing new beginnings and hope. This gate, therefore, represents the entry point for God's glory and the renewal of His covenant with His people. He climbed its steps and measured the threshold of the gate; it was one rod deep (6) The stairs.--These steps to the porch were seven in number (Ezekiel 40:22; Ezekiel 40:26) for the north and south gates, and therefore probably also for this. They were entirely outside of the threshold, and hence are not reckoned in the dimensions of the gate-building. (See plan, A.) One reed broad.--That is, from east to west (see plan, T). This was just the thickness of the enclosing wall, w (Ezekiel 40:5). The text of this verse becomes clearer by omitting the words in italics which are not in the original; also throughout the description it is better to omit the inserted words was and were, since the various things mentioned are all dependent upon measured. . . . Verse 6. - The east gate. The gate which looketh toward the east; literally, whose face was toward the east. That this was not the gate in which the angel had been first observed standing seems implied in the statement that he came to it. That he began with it is satisfactorily accounted for by remembering that the east gate was the principal entrance, and stood directly in front of the porch of the temple proper. The same reasons will explain the fullness of description accorded to it rather than to the others. It was ascended by stairs, or steps, of which the number seven is omitted, though it is mentioned in connection with the north (ver. 22) and south (ver. 26) gates. "The significance was obvious," writes Plumptre. "Men must ascend in heart and mind as they enter the sanctuary, and the seven steps represented the completeness at last of that ascension." The steps lay outside the wall, and at their head had a threshold (סַפ, properly an "expansion," or "spreading out") one reed broad, i.e. measuring inwards from east to west, the thickness of the wall. Its extension from south to north, afterwards stated, was ten cubits, or fifteen feet (ver. 11). The last clause, improperly rendered, and the other threshold (Authorized and Revised Versions), or "the back threshold" (Ewald), of the gate which was one reed, should be translated, even one threshold (Revised Version margin), or the first threshold, as distinguished from the second, to be afterwards specified (ver. 7); comp. Genesis h 5, "the first (one) day."Parallel Commentaries ...
