6<\/strong>. the pillars of the courts<\/em> ] LXX. reads: pillars of the outer ones<\/em>, i.e. the chambers in the outer court. Probably there is a transcriptional error here, cf. Eze 41:15<\/span>.<\/p>\n was straitened<\/em> ] lit. there was<\/em> (room) taken away from the lowest from the ground<\/em>. The last words seem in apposition with “lowest,” and refer to the ground area. The verse indicates that the chambers in the outer court had pillars, and that the three stories were all of the same dimensions.<\/p>\n The front of the higher stories was not supported on pillars, but there was a narrowing from the lowest (chambers) and from the middlemost (chambers) from the ground.<\/P> <\/p>\n In three stories; <\/B>built high one over another. <\/P> As the pillars of the courts; <\/B>as thick and strong as those were, but of the slenderer and weaker make. <\/P> The building, <\/B>the highest room of the building, was straitened; was laid at nearer distance than the middlemost from the lowest, or than the roof of the lowest from the ground. <\/P> <\/p>\n For they were in three stories<\/strong>,…. Not only the galleries or posts, but the chambers; they were one over another; there were the lowermost, middlemost, and uppermost; which, as before, may denote the difference in churches, and the different states, conditions, and characters of those that are in them; some being fathers, others young men, and others little children: or their different offices and relations; some being pastors, others deacons, and others private members: or their knowledge of and profession of faith in the doctrine of the Trinity, the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; and their being baptized in the name of the three divine Persons; and their being built on Christ the foundation, a habitation for God through the Spirit:<\/p>\n but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts<\/strong>; those which supported the porticos and galleries in the courts of the temple, not pillars so thick and strong as they: so the churches represented by these chambers, though they have Gospel ministers, which are as pillars, and valuable members, which are as such, that shall not go out; yet they have not those external supports from great and rich men, but consist generally of the poor of this world, as churches on a civil establishment have, who are supported by the state:<\/p>\n therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground<\/strong>; the upper part of it, or the uppermost chambers, were more straitened, and had less room in them, than the middlemost, and the middlemost than the lowest; suggesting, that the more heavenly and spiritual men are, the farther they depart from the men of the world and their conversation, from the sentiments and practices of natural men, the more they are exposed to their scorn and contempt, and are the more afflicted and straitened by them.<\/p>\n (6) As the pillars of the courts.<\/strong>This statement is introduced to show that as there was no external support for the galleries, they must have been taken from the width of the chambers; but it gives incidentally the interesting information that there were pillars in the courts. These could not have been the ornamental pillars at the entrance of the various porches, for the connection implies that they supported something. It is quite likely, therefore, that there were cloisters around the inside of the wall of the courts (on the pavement), as in the later Temple.<\/p>\n Eze 42:6<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>For they were in three stories<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> The two upper stories had balconies projecting from them, the breadth of which was taken out of the rooms themselves, which rendered them so much the narrower, because the weight of the balconies was not supported by pillars, as the rooms over the cloisters of the inner court were, but only by the wall. See Houbigant’s note. <\/p>\n Eze 42:6 For they [were] in three [stories], but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the building] was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.<\/p>\n Ver. 6. Therefore the building was straitened.<\/strong> ] As the rules of architecture direct, and as right reason required, lest the building should shrink under its own burden. Ne structura pondere dissiliret.<\/p>\n Eze 41:6, 1Ki 6:8 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Eze 42:5 – General<\/p>\n Eze 42:6. Many of the units of the structure were in threes but the reason for it is not stated. This place had not pillars as other parts had. For this reason the writer states it was straitened or contracted more than either lower or middle story.<\/p>\n For they [were] in three [stories], but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the building] was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground. 6. the pillars of the courts ] LXX. reads: pillars of the outer ones, i.e. the chambers in the outer court.
