Ezekiel 42:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 42:10

The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court
toward the east
As there were chambers in the northern part of the outward court, some which looked to the north, and others to the south, so likewise some to the east; and these were built on the breadth, as it may be rendered, of the court wall to the east; signifying there will be churches raised in all the northern parts of the world: over against the separate place, and over against the building;
as the other chambers were; (See Gill on Ezekiel 42:1).

Ezekiel 42:10 In-Context

8 For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those opposite the nave were a hundred cubits long.

9 Below these chambers was an entrance on the east side, as one enters them from the outer court.

10 In the thickness of the wall of the court, on the south also, opposite the yard and opposite the building, there were chambers

11 with a passage in front of them. They were similar to the chambers on the north, of the same length and breadth, with the same exits and arrangements and doors,

12 as were the entrances of the chambers on the south. There was an entrance at the beginning of the passage, the passage before the corresponding wall on the east as one enters them.
