The chambers for the priests13. The use thereof 15. The measures of the outward court And below these chambers The phrase "below these chambers" refers to the architectural layout of the temple complex described in Ezekiel's vision. The Hebrew word for "chambers" is "lishkoth," which often denotes rooms or cells used for various purposes, such as storage or living quarters for priests. The positioning "below" suggests a multi-level structure, indicating the complexity and grandeur of the temple. This architectural detail underscores the meticulous design ordained by God, reflecting His order and holiness. The chambers symbolize the provision and preparation necessary for worship and service, reminding believers of the importance of spiritual readiness and dedication. was the entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court Ezekiel 42:10-12 describe briefly another chamber-building at the south of the "separate place," exactly like the one already described at the north. There is only need to notice some required changes in the translation. Thus read Ezekiel 42:10, On the breadth of the wall of the court going toward the east, over against the separate place and over against the building were the chambers. The wall is here the same word as in Ezekiel 42:7, and means therefore not the wall of a building, but a fence-wall; it is here defined, however, as "the wall of the court," and must be understood of the division wall between the inner and outer courts. Along this, as it stretched to the east, the building was situated. Some writers, by a slight alteration of the text, would change east into south, so that for "going toward the east" we should read on the south. This makes the sense clearer, but is not necessary. Verse 9. - The chambers were approached by an entry (in the text the entry, this being a well-known and recognized part of the structure) which ran along the east side of the building, and led from the outer to the temple court. As this (the outer) court was higher than that (the temple), and could only be reached by steps, "the entry" is represented as lying under the chambers. It was manifestly this "entry" that was screened by the fence mentioned in ver. 7.Parallel Commentaries ...
