[Ezekiel 41:1](../../../kjv/ezekiel/41/1) **.** *He brought me to the temple the tabernacle.* See the note on [1 Samuel 3](../../../kjv/1-samuel/3). We now enter on the measurements of the temple. The prophet begins at the centre, by describing the Holy of holies. See then, oh my soul, that thou also begin there.
[Ezekiel 41:3](../../../kjv/ezekiel/41/3) **.** *The door six cubits* high, *and its breadth seven cubits,* or three cubits and a half for each leaf. Dr. Lightfoot quotes Kimchi as saying that the cubit by which the temple was measured was six hand-breadths.
[Ezekiel 41:4](../../../kjv/ezekiel/41/4) **.** *Twenty cubits* were the length, and twenty the breadth of this most holy place, a figure of the sanctuary prepared above.
[Ezekiel 41:6](../../../kjv/ezekiel/41/6) **.** *The side-chambers were three* stories high, as the English version intimates, and thirty in order; that is, three times ten; whereas the Hebrew text is thirty three times, which the rabbins confirm by the adduction of “eleven in each row.” They ascended by a circular staircase, as is the manner in all our towers. The Hebrews אתיק *attick,* a word now in use, and is applied here to the three chambers, though now confined to the third, or upper story.
[Ezekiel 41:8](../../../kjv/ezekiel/41/8) **.** *The height of the house,* seen but not named. The thicker part of the wall at the foundation was one reed.
[Ezekiel 41:13-15](../../../kjv/ezekiel/41/13-15) **.** *A hundred cubits* was the height; the length and the breadth were the same. The apostle John also has described the new Jerusalem as a perfect cube, a city of equal dimensions, lying foursquare. [Revelation 21:16](../../../kjv/revelation/21/16).
