Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 40:16

_ _ narrow — latticed [Henderson]. The ancients had no glass, so they had them latticed, narrow in the interior of the walls, and widening at the exterior. “Made fast,” or “firmly fixed in the chambers” [Maurer].

_ _ arches — rather, “porches.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 40:5-26.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 40:16

Narrow windows — Windows narrowed inward to the middle. Their posts — The upper lintel of each door over which was a window. To the arches — Windows under the arches between post and post, to give light to the five cubits space between chamber and chamber. Round about — These were on both sides of the porch within the gate, exactly alike.
