Ezekiel 41
1. The measures, parts, chambers, and ornaments of the temple














(16) The door posts.--This is the same word as in Ezekiel 40:6-7, &c., and means thresholds. The various particulars mentioned--the thresholds, the windows, and the galleries--are all to be taken in connection with the "he measured" of Ezekiel 41:15, and are details of the three buildings there spoken of, yet they did not all of them necessarily belong to each building.

Narrow windows.--Rather, closed windows. (See Note on Ezekiel 40:16.)

On their three stories.--"Stories" is not in the original, and introduces a wrong idea. He measured the three buildings (Ezekiel 41:15), and various details about their three (constructions) (Ezekiel 41:16). . . .

Verses 16, 17 introduce several new details.

(1) That the door-posts (rather, thresholds), and the narrow (or, closed) windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, were covered with a wainscoting of wood from the ground up to the windows.

(2) That the windows, whether openings on the first floor (Kliefoth) or skylights in the roof (Hengstenberg), were "covered," which may signify, as Ewald and Plumptre think, that they were not left open, but protected by a lattice-work of bars or planks; or, as Currey suggests, that they were wainscoted as well as the space from the ground to the windows.

(3) That nothing was constructed by caprice or at random, but that all about the building proceeded by exact measurement.
