Between the chambers that on one side joined to the temple, and were public repositories for offerings, and tithes, &c., and those other chambers, which were built on the wall of this inner court, and were lodgings for the priests, there was a void space, or pavement, in the open air, twenty cubits broad, and these round about on all sides of the court, and probably some rails, or balusters, or low wall round too before them enclosing this space.

10. the chambersthat is, ofthe priests in the court: between these and the side chambers was thewideness, c. While long details are given as to the chambers, &c.,no mention is made of the ark of the covenant. FAIRBAIRNthus interprets this: In future there was to be a perfect conformityto the divine idea, such as there had not been before. The dwellingsof His people should all become true sanctuaries of piety. JehovahHimself, in the full display of the divine Shekinah, shall come inthe room of the ark of the covenant (Jer 3:16Jer 3:17). The interior of thetemple stands empty, waiting for His entrance to fill it with Hisglory (Eze 43:1-12).It is the same temple, but the courts of it have become different toaccommodate a more numerous people. The entire compass of the templemount has become a holy of holies (Eze43:12).

And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits,…. Not the side chambers before mentioned, as if there was the space of twenty cubits between each chamber; for another word is used; more probably the meaning is, that between the side chambers, or the void space before them of five cubits, and the chambers which were in the court facing them, was such a wideness of twenty cubits:
round about the house on every side; on all sides of the temple, where the above chambers were, west, north, and south.
