Ezekiel 42:5
_ _ shorter — that is, the building became narrower as it rose in height. The chambers were many: so “in My Father’s house are many mansions” (John 14:2); and besides these there was much “room” still left (compare Luke 14:22). The chambers, though private, were near the temple. Prayer in our chambers is to prepare us for public devotions, and to help us in improving them. |
Ezekiel 42:5
Shorter — At first view it should seem to refer to the length, but indeed it refers to the height of the chambers, of which the lowest chamber was highest, the second lower pitched than the first, yet of greater height than the uppermost between the floor and ceiling. |
- were higher than these:
- or, did eat of these,
Ezekiel 41:7 And [there was] an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house [was still] upward, and so increased [from] the lowest [chamber] to the highest by the midst.
|
- than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building:
- or, and the building consisted of the lower and the middlemost.
Ezekiel 42:6 For they [were] in three [stories], but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the building] was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
