The measures, parts, chambers, and ornaments of the templeAnd he went into the inner sanctuary The "he" refers to the angelic guide leading Ezekiel through the visionary temple. The inner sanctuary, also known as the Holy of Holies, was the most sacred part of the temple, where God's presence dwelt. This mirrors the inner sanctum of Solomon's Temple (1 Kings 6:16-20) and the tabernacle (Exodus 26:33-34). It symbolizes the ultimate communion with God, foreshadowing the access believers have through Christ (Hebrews 10:19-22). and measured the side pillars at the entrance to be two cubits wide The entrance was six cubits wide and the walls on each side were seven cubits wide Persons / Places / Events 1. EzekielA prophet and priest during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel receives visions from God, including the detailed vision of the new temple. 2. The Temple The vision of the temple in Ezekiel 40-48 represents a future idealized temple, symbolizing God's presence and holiness. 3. The Measuring The act of measuring the temple signifies God's order, precision, and the importance of His dwelling place. Teaching Points God's Holiness and OrderThe precise measurements of the temple highlight God's holiness and the order He brings to His creation. Believers are called to reflect God's holiness in their lives. The Importance of God's Presence The temple symbolizes God's desire to dwell among His people. In the New Covenant, believers are the temple of the Holy Spirit, emphasizing the importance of living in a way that honors God's presence within us. Attention to Detail in Worship Just as the temple's construction required attention to detail, our worship and service to God should be intentional and reverent, reflecting His glory and majesty.(3) Went he inward.--There is here a noticeable change in the usual expression; in all other cases the angel had brought the prophet to the places to be measured, but as he is here entering the Holy of Holies, into which, under the law, Ezekiel might not enter, the angel goes in alone. The prophetic vision was not yet sufficiently clear to speak of the way into the true Holy of Holies as at length opened to all (Hebrews 9:8; Hebrews 9:12; Hebrews 10:19). The door, six cubits.--Door is here used for doorway, the clear space between the posts. The "breadth of the door" itself is immediately said to be seven cubits, the door overlapping the posts in a shoulder half a cubit on each side. Verse 3. - Then went he inward; i.e. into the most holy place. As this could not be entered even by a priest, but only by the high priest once a year (Exodus 30:10; Leviticus 16:17; Hebrews 9:7), Ezekiel was left without, while "the man" announced to him in succession the measurements of the adytum, as these were taken. First, that of the post of the door (the singular for the plural, meaning the post on either side of the doorway) two cubits. Next, that of the door itself, which is given first as six and second as seven cubits. Kliefoth and Keil take the six as the height and the seven as the breadth of the entrance into the holy of holies; but as no other measurement of height occurs throughout this description, Dr. Currey regards "six" as the distance from "pest" to "post," and "seven" as the actual width of the door, each post projecting half a cubit beyond the hinge of the door, which opened inward. Ewald and Villalpandus, after the LXX., read, "the entrance six cubits and the flanks of the entrance seven cubits;" and these figures, 7 + 6 4- 7, certainly make up the breadth of the interior; only it is impossible to extract this meaning from the Hebrew without tampering with the text.Parallel Commentaries ...
