Ezekiel 41:2

Eze 41:2 And the breadth of the door [was] ten cubits; and the sides of the door [were] five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.

Ver. 2. And he measured the length thereof,] i.e., Not of the door, as Jerome would have it; but of the temple, the body and basilic thereof, called "the first sanctuary" {Heb 9:2}

Forty cubits.] This noteth, say some, the longsuffering and patience of the saints, like as the breadth, twenty cubits, doth their charity.

Verse 2. The breadth of the door] This was the door, or gate, of the sanctuary, (see gates, 3, in the plan,) See Clarke on Eze 48:35, and this doorway was filled up with folding gates. The measurements are exactly the same as those of Solomon's temple. See 1Kg 6:2; 1Kg 6:17.

And the breadth of the door was ten cubits,.... The temple door: great care is taken to observe and give the dimensions of the doors and gates of various places; to put us in mind of Christ the door and gate into the church, and into fellowship with God: this was as broad again as the door of Solomon's temple; for that was but the fourth part of the wall of it, five cubits, Kg1 6:1,

and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side; the side walls of the door, both on the north and south, were five cubits each; which, with the ten, the breadth of the door, made twenty; and is just the breadth of the temple or holy place afterwards given:

and he measured the length thereof forty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits; that is, the length of the temple from east to west, and the breadth of it from north to south, were of this measure; which exactly answers to the dimensions of Solomon's temple, a figure of the Gospel church, as this; see Kg1 6:2.

The door; or the aperture, the open space which let in light, as well as men; properly the door of the porch. Ten cubits, between post and post, on which the folding doors did hang.

The sides of the door; the space from the edge of the wall by the posts to the side wall inward was on each side five cubits, on the north side so many, and on the south so many, which make the contents between wall and wall, as the verse hath it, twenty cubits in breadth.

The length of the sanctuary, from the porch to the partition between the holy of holies, and the inward front of the wall of the sanctuary, was forty cubits, unless we must take in the thickness of the walls of both sanctuary and holy of holies, of which more may possibly be spoken.

The breadth of the door, i.e. of the opening from the porch, was ten cubits; whereas the door into the porch was eleven cubits. (Eze_40:49) This would have the effect of rendering the door into the holy place more conspicuous. The sides (or, shoulders) of the door according to Kliefoth, "the side walls," from the door to the corner pillars; according to Keil, the shoulders lay behind the pillars were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other; i.e. were as broad as the posts of the porch. The length of the holy place, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty, were the same as in the Solomonic structure. The entire frontage of the holy place was 20 cubits of interior breadth + 12 (2 x 6) cubits, as breadth of pillars 32 cubits; or, otherwise, 6 + 6, for the two pillars, 5 + 5 for the sides, and 10 for the door opening = 32 cubits in all.
