11<\/strong>. The verse states plainly that the place that was left, i.e. the margin of platform unoccupied by buildings, was 5 cubits broad, Fig. 2, E. and that the doors of the side-chambers opened upon it, one on the N. and another on the S. side, Fig. 2, g<\/em>. It is evident that the side-chambers could have doors nowhere else, for their wall on one side was the wall of the house, in which doors could not be permitted; and the measurements seem to shew that the margin of raised basement did not go round the house on the west. In Solomon’s temple there was probably only one door, on the S. side, 1Ki 6:8<\/span>.<\/p>\n The doors of the side-chambers opened on to the passage or corridor, between the chambers and the temple-wall.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 11<\/span>. And the doors<\/B><\/I>] See the plan, aa. bb<\/I>. See Clarke on Eze 48:35<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n The doors<\/B> of the lowest row opened into this void paved space. Beside the particular doors to each chamber, there were two, one on the north, where was a fair staircase, which did lead up to every story, and above these to the top of the temple. And so another like this on the south, excepting that this south staircase led not up to the top of all, as that north staircase did. <\/P> <\/p>\n And the doors of the side chambers were towards the place that was left<\/strong>,…. These opened to the void space before them; that is, those of the lower storey; the others must open to the winding staircase that led down to it:<\/p>\n one door toward the north, and another door toward the south<\/strong>; which is not to be understood as if each chamber had two doors; but either of the two doors, which opened at the top of the staircase to the north and south; or of the doors of those chambers, which were on the north, and opened towards it; and of those that were on the south, that opened to that: indeed the Misnic doctors say d that each chamber had three doors; one to the chamber on the right; another to the chamber on the left; and a third to the upper chamber: and in the north east corner were five doors; one to the chamber on the right; and one to the upper chamber; a third to the winding stairs; a fourth to the little gate; and the fifth to the temple; these signify the free entrance of men into the churches of Christ in the latter day, whose gates shall be opened to let in the righteous nation; and shall stand open continually, that the forces of the Gentiles and their kings may be brought, Isa 26:2<\/span> and in the New Jerusalem there are gates, east, west, north, and south, even twelve of them, and at them twelve angels; and which gates shall not be shut day nor night, Re 21:12<\/span>:<\/p>\n and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about<\/strong>; the void space that was left before the side chambers; see Eze 41:9<\/span>.<\/p>\n d Misn. Middot, c. 4. sect. 3.<\/p>\n (11) The doors of the side chambers.<\/strong>These doors opened upon the platform, that for the series on the north side to the north, and for the other to the south. There was but one door on each side, so that the series of chambers must have been entered one from another.<\/p>\n We may now sum up the measurements of the Temple with its chambers and surrounding space. The wall, 6 cubits; the chambers, 4; their outer wall, 5; the platform beyond, 5; the space beyond this, 20 (6 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 20 = 40). This was on each side, and therefore is to be doubled, making 80 cubits; to this add the 20 cubits of the inner width of the Temple, and we have exactly the 100 cubits, the width of the inner court. In the same way the length: here the porch is considered as belonging to the court, and with it the front wall of the Temple, the thickness of which is included in the length of the porch. Beginning then at the inside of the outer walls, we have the inner length of Temple, 60 cubits; rear wall, 6; chambers, 4; outer wall, 5; platform, 5; space, 20; in all, 100 cubits. thus making an exact square.<\/p>\n ‘And the doors of the side-chambers faced that which was left, one door towards the north and one door towards the south. And the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about.’<\/p>\n The external doors leading to the side-chambers were accessed from the pavement (‘that which was left’) round about the whole sanctuary on three sides (north, south and east), which measured five cubits, and was on the platform the sanctuary was built on. It had been deliberately left as a walkway. The west side of the sanctuary had no pavement. It was not permissible to walk directly behind the holy of holies.<\/p>\n Eze 41:11 And the doors of the side chambers [were] toward [the place that was] left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left [was] five cubits round about.<\/p>\n Ver. 11. Toward the place that was left.<\/strong> ] Which served the faithful, saith Jerome, for an oratory, whither they went to pray.<\/p>\n and the breadth: Eze 41:9, Eze 42:4 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Eze 40:38 – the chambers<\/p>\n Eze 41:11. These chambers had each a door on the side and one on the north. They were entered from the platform which was described in verses 8 and 9. This would be another reason why the chambers should not be jammed up against each other.<\/p>\n Ezekiel saw a doorway in this exterior wall on the north and south sides that allowed access into the side rooms. There was a five-cubit-wide (8 feet 4 inches) walkway all around the exterior wall of the temple except on the west side (cf. Eze 41:13). This walkway was on the same level as the top of the foundation of the temple.<\/p>\n And the doors of the side chambers [were] toward [the place that was] left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left [was] five cubits round about. 11.
