Context

The East Gate

⁷Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide, and there were five cubits between the gate chambers. The inner threshold of the gate by the portico facing inward was one rod deep. ⁸Then he measured the portico of the gateway inside; ⁹it was eight cubits deep, and its jambs were two cubits thick. And the portico of the gateway faced the temple.

Summary

In Ezekiel 40:8, the prophet Ezekiel is given a vision of the temple area, specifically the vestibule of the gateway. This detailed description of the temple's structure and measurements reflects God's attention to detail and His desire for order and reverence in worship. The vision serves as a reminder of the importance of honoring God with reverence and obedience in all aspects of our lives, including our worship practices. It also points to the future restoration and glory of God's kingdom, where His presence will dwell among His people in perfection.

Commentary

John Gill Bible Commentary

He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed. This was either the measure of the breadth of the porch between the opposite chambers on both sides; or rather of the length of that space, which was between the third little chamber and the last gate; and such a space must be supposed to be between the first gate and the first little chamber, which space were three yards and a half; which shows how spacious the churches of Christ will be, and how exactly measured.

Ezekiel 40:8

And the portico of the gateway faced the temple.
