The measures, parts, chambers, and ornaments of the templeThe side chambers The Hebrew term for "side chambers" is "צֵלָע" (tsela), which can also mean "rib" or "side." These chambers were integral to the temple's structure, providing additional space for various functions, possibly storage or living quarters for priests. The design reflects the meticulous planning and divine order that God intended for His dwelling place, emphasizing the importance of holiness and separation in worship. were in three stories one above another thirty in each story There were offsets all around the temple to serve as supports for the side chambers so that they would not be supported by the wall of the temple itself Entered into the wall . . . but they had not hold.--More exactly, they came upon the wall. The "house" cannot without violence be understood of anything but the Temple itself. The construction was the same as in Solomon's Temple (1Kings 6:6), the wall receding with each storey of the chambers, thus leaving a ledge on which the beams should rest, "that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house." Nothing is said of the distribution of these chambers, but, as will be seen by the plan, a uniform size requires that they should be placed twelve on each side, and six at the end of the Temple. Verse 6. - The side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; literally, side chamber over side chamber, three and thirty times; which means that they were ranged in three stories of thirty each; in this, again, agreeing, as to number and position, with the chambers in Solomon's temple (see Josephus, 'Ant.,' 8:03. 2). It is not needful to alter the text, as Bottcher, Hitzig, Havernick, and Ewald propose to do, in order to make it read, with the LXX., "chamber against chamber, thirty and (this) three times," on the ground that אֵל and not עַל is the preposition, because in Ezekiel אֵל often stands for עַל (Ezekiel 18:6; Ezekiel 31:12; Ezekiel 40:2). How the chambers were arranged along the three sides is not stated; but most likely there were twelve threes on each of the longer sides, the north and the south, and six threes on the shorter or western side. Like the chambers in Solomon's temple (1 Kings 6:6). those in Ezekiel's were not fastened to "the wall of the house," i.e. of the temple proper; the only question is whether they were built against the temple wall, as Kliefoth, Keil, Smend, and Schroder suppose, or, as Ewald and Dr. Currey seem to think, against another wall, five cubits thick (ver. 9), which ran parallel to the temple wall, and which, having been built expressly for the support of the side chambers, might properly enough be said to be "of the house," i.e. belonging to it. In the former case the chambers would doubtless be fastened to the temple wall by means of "ledges," "holds," "rebates," as in the temple of Solomon: in the latter case, as Ewald translates, there would be "a light passage between the wall of the house and the side chambers around."Hebrew The side roomsוְהַצְּלָעוֹת֩ (wə·haṣ·ṣə·lā·‘ō·wṯ) Conjunctive waw, Article | Noun - feminine plural Strong's 6763: A rib, a side, a, timber, plank were arranged one צֵלָ֨ע (ṣê·lā‘) Noun - feminine singular Strong's 6763: A rib, a side, a, timber, plank above אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition Strong's 413: Near, with, among, to another צֵלָ֜ע (ṣê·lā‘) Noun - feminine singular Strong's 6763: A rib, a side, a, timber, plank in three levels שָׁל֧וֹשׁ (šā·lō·wōš) Number - feminine singular Strong's 7969: Three, third, thrice of thirty rooms each. וּשְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים (ū·šə·lō·šîm) Conjunctive waw | Number - common plural Strong's 7970: Thirty, thirtieth There were ledges וּ֠בָאוֹת (ū·ḇā·’ō·wṯ) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Participle - feminine plural Strong's 935: To come in, come, go in, go all around סָבִ֥יב ׀ (sā·ḇîḇ) Adverb Strong's 5439: A circle, neighbour, environs, around the wall בַּקִּ֨יר (baq·qîr) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular Strong's 7023: A wall of the temple לַבַּ֧יִת (lab·ba·yiṯ) Preposition-l, Article | Noun - masculine singular Strong's 1004: A house to serve as לִהְי֣וֹת (lih·yō·wṯ) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct Strong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, be supports אֲחוּזִ֑ים (’ă·ḥū·zîm) Noun - masculine plural Strong's 270: To grasp, take hold, take possession for the side rooms, לַצְּלָע֛וֹת (laṣ·ṣə·lā·‘ō·wṯ) Preposition-l, Article | Noun - feminine plural Strong's 6763: A rib, a side, a, timber, plank so that the supports אֲחוּזִ֖ים (’ă·ḥū·zîm) Noun - masculine plural Strong's 270: To grasp, take hold, take possession would not וְלֹֽא־ (wə·lō-) Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particle Strong's 3808: Not, no be [fastened] into יִהְי֥וּ (yih·yū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine plural Strong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, be the wall בְּקִ֥יר (bə·qîr) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct Strong's 7023: A wall of the temple itself. הַבָּֽיִת׃ (hab·bā·yiṯ) Article | Noun - masculine singular Strong's 1004: A house Links Ezekiel 41:6 NIVEzekiel 41:6 NLT Ezekiel 41:6 ESV Ezekiel 41:6 NASB Ezekiel 41:6 KJV Ezekiel 41:6 BibleApps.com Ezekiel 41:6 Biblia Paralela Ezekiel 41:6 Chinese Bible Ezekiel 41:6 French Bible Ezekiel 41:6 Catholic Bible OT Prophets: Ezekiel 41:6 The side chambers were in three stories (Ezek.
