Ezekiel 40:26 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:26

And there were seven steps to go up to it
To the south gate, as there were to the east and north gates, ( Ezekiel 40:6 Ezekiel 40:42 ) : and the arches thereof were before them; (See Gill on Ezekiel 40:22): and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon
the posts thereof;
that is, on the posts of this gate were palm trees, two on each post, one on one side, and the other on the other: this verse shows us how many palm trees were painted on the posts, and how they were disposed of; (See Gill on Ezekiel 40:16).

Ezekiel 40:26 In-Context

24 Then the man led me to the south side of the courtyard. There I saw a gate that faced south. He measured its doorposts and porch. They measured the same as the others.

25 The gateway and its porch had narrow openings all around. The openings were the same as the others had. The side walls and porch measured 87 and a half feet long and almost 44 feet wide.

26 Seven steps led up to it. Its porch was across from them. The front of each side wall was decorated with a palm tree.

27 The inner courtyard also had a gate that faced south. The man measured from that gate to the outer gate on the south side. The total was 175 feet.

28 Then the man brought me into the inner courtyard. We went through the south gate. He measured it. It was the same size as the others.
