Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezekiel 41:14
Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, a hundred cubits.
14. Two measurements of 100 cubits from N. to S.
The front of the house buildings, the “separate place” on each side of them being included, gives 100 cubits, namely, 20 (breadth of house) + 6 + 6 (side walls) + 4 + 4 (side-chambers) + 5 + 5 (walls of side-chambers) + 5 + 5 (remainder of raised basement) + 20 + 20 (separate place) = 100, Fig. 3, lm.

Of the face; the whole front of the house eastward, the prospect of it being to the east.
Of the separate place: this explains the other, say some, the house is the separate place; or else, as others, that other building on the west end of the temple, which was of equal dimensions with the temple.
An hundred cubits; measuring from the north point along by the eastern front to the south point, or corner of the building or wall. The admeasuring the particulars I forbear; but since this side runs equal with the length of the whole from east to west, we need not doubt it is a hundred cubits.

Also the breadth of the face of the house, and the separate place toward the east,…. The whole front of the temple, the holy and most holy place, which looked to the east: and was measured from north to south,
an hundred cubits: which some reckon thus; the breadth of the temple twenty cubits; the thickness of the outward walls, twelve cubits; the side chambers, eight cubits; the walls of these chambers, five cubits on each side: the breadth of the void space, five cubits on each side; and twenty cubits round about the house; so that the length and breadth of this structure was the same, and made a perfect foursquare, as the city of the New Jerusalem is said to be, Re 21:16.

Eze 41:14. Separate place is from one original and refers to some part of the building on the east side. Face is evidently used figuratively because it was the rule to face’ the east with important buildings.
