Eze 41:1-26.
THE CHAMBERS AND ORNAMENTS OF THE TEMPLE.
1. tabernacle--As in the measurement of the outer porch he had pointed to Solomon's temple, so here in the edifice itself, he points to the old tabernacle, which being eight boards in breadth (each one and a half cubits broad) would make in all twelve cubits, as here. On the interior it was only ten cubits.

2. 其长——即圣所的长[FAIRBAIRN]。

2. length thereof--namely, of the holy place [FAIRBAIRN].

3. 往里——朝向至圣所。
English original
3. inward--towards the most holy place.

4. 它的——指至圣所的。
殿前——即在至圣所之前、前面（照样“殿”在
1Ki 6:3
中也是如此使用）。
天使进去量它，而以西结站在前面——圣殿中他唯一可到之处。这两个房间的尺寸与所罗门圣殿相同，因最初由神定规，便被视为最终确定。
English original
4. thereof--of the holy of holies.
before the temple--that is, before, or in front of the most holy place (so "temple" is used in
1Ki 6:3).
The angel went in and measured it, while Ezekiel stood in front, in the only part of the temple accessible to him. The dimensions of the two apartments are the same as in Solomon's temple, since being fixed originally by God, they are regarded as finally determined.

5. 旁屋（side chamber）——此处单数用为集合名词以代复数。这些旁屋是附在圣殿外部的附属建筑，在西、北、南三面；至于东面，即主要入口，则没有旁屋。旁屋之所以狭窄，是为了使梁木无需柱子也能支撑。其格局类似于 Koyunjik 的厅堂，一间称为“内殿”的宽大中央厅堂，周围环绕着较小的房间。
English original
5. side chamber--the singular used collectively for the plural. These chambers were appendages attached to the outside of the temple, on the west, north, and south; for on the east side, the principal entrance, there were no chambers. The narrowness of the chambers was in order that the beams could be supported without needing pillars. The plan is similar to that of the hall at Koyunjik, a large central hall, called the oracle, with smaller rooms built round it.

6. 可以……抓住，却不在……房屋的墙——
1Ki 6:6
告诉我们圣殿的墙上设有搁板以支撑旁屋；但圣殿的墙并未因此成为这旁屋建筑的一部分，二者各自独立。“他们进去”，即旁屋的梁木（共三层，依序相连共三十间）进入墙内，即搁放在从墙突出的搁架上。
English original
6. might . . . hold, but . . . not hold in . . . wall of the house--
1Ki 6:6
tells us there were rests made in the walls of the temple for supports to the side chambers; but the temple walls did not thereby become part of this side building; they stood separate from it. "They entered," namely, the beams of the chambers, which were three-storied and thirty in consecutive order, entered into the wall, that is, were made to lean on rests projecting from the wall.

7. 宽度……从最低的……到最高的这样加增——即上面内部空间的宽度比下面更宽。
English original
7. the breadth . . . so increased from the lowest . . . to the highest--that is, the breadth of the interior space above was greater than that below.

8. 根基……六……肘——根基所托的底层结构，足有六肘的一竿之长。
大——直译作“到极处”或根部，即手的根部[HENDERSON]。“到相接处”，即一间旁屋的根基止、另一间起之处[FAIRBAIRN]。
English original
8. foundations . . . six . . . cubits--the substructure, on which the foundations rested, was a full reed of six cubits.
great--literally, "to the extremity" or root, namely, of the hand [HENDERSON]. "To the joining," or point, where the foundation of one chamber ceased and another began [FAIRBAIRN].

9. 所留下的——圣殿所属的旁屋之内有一处未被占用的空地。这空地位于圣殿以西，在大小上与之十分相似，其上的建筑暗示：再没有一处地方可以如从前那样被视为不圣洁。Manasseh
(2Ki 23:11)
曾滥用这些“圣殿的郊野”来饲养奉献给太阳的圣马。从此，这一切可憎之事的借口都要被除去，主宣告每一处空间都归祂，并以神圣的建筑将此处也填满[FAIRBAIRN]。
English original
9. that which was left--There was an unoccupied place within chambers that belonged to the house. The buildings in this unoccupied place, west of the temple, and so much resembling it in size, imply that no place was to be left which was to be held, as of old, not sacred. Manasseh
(2Ki 23:11)
had abused these "suburbs of the temple" to keeping horses sacred to the sun. All excuse for such abominations was henceforth to be taken away, the Lord claiming every space, and filling up this also with sacred erections [FAIRBAIRN].

10. 旁屋——即院内祭司的旁屋：这些旁屋与圣殿外侧旁屋之间有宽度等等。虽然对旁屋等等有详细记载，却未提及约柜。FAIRBAIRN 如此解释：将来必有对神圣观念的完全相符，这是从前未曾有的。祂百姓的居所都将成为真正敬虔的圣所。耶和华自己，在神圣 Shekinah 的完全彰显中，要来到约柜之位
(Jer 3:16, 17)。
圣殿内部空着，等候祂进来以荣耀充满
(Eze 43:1-12)。
这是同一座圣殿，但其院已有所改变，以容纳更多的人。圣殿山的整个范围已成为至圣所
(Eze 43:12)。
English original
10. the chambers--that is, of the priests in the court: between these and the side chambers was the wideness, &c. While long details are given as to the chambers, &c., no mention is made of the ark of the covenant. FAIRBAIRN thus interprets this: In future there was to be a perfect conformity to the divine idea, such as there had not been before. The dwellings of His people should all become true sanctuaries of piety. Jehovah Himself, in the full display of the divine Shekinah, shall come in the room of the ark of the covenant
(Jer 3:16, 17).
The interior of the temple stands empty, waiting for His entrance to fill it with His glory
(Eze 43:1-12).
It is the same temple, but the courts of it have become different to accommodate a more numerous people. The entire compass of the temple mount has become a holy of holies
(Eze 43:12).

12-15. 圣殿及其后部和侧旁各建筑的度量总和。
English original
12-15. Sum of the measures of the temple, and of the buildings behind and on the side of it.

15. 旁屋（galleries）——台阶式的建筑。在圣殿的西面或后方，有一块单独的空间，由与圣殿外部尺寸相同的建筑所占据，即四周共一百肘见方 [FAIRBAIRN]。
English original
15. galleries--terrace buildings. On the west or back of the temple, there was a separate place occupied by buildings of the same external dimensions as the temple, that is, one hundred cubits square in the entire compass [FAIRBAIRN].

16. 遮蔽——因这些是最高的窗，故从下方的视线中被“遮蔽”。或作“以棂格遮蔽”。
English original
16. covered--being the highest windows they were "covered" from the view below. Or else "covered with lattice-work."

17. 按尺寸——量度已经量过 [FAIRBAIRN]。
English original
17. by measure--Measurements were taken [FAIRBAIRN].

21. 这一个的样式与那一个的样式一样——圣所或至圣所的外观与圣殿相似。它们只在大小上不同。
English original
21. appearance of the one as the appearance of the other--The appearance of the sanctuary or holy of holies was similar to that of the temple. They differed only in magnitude.

22. 桌子……在耶和华面前——即香坛
(Eze 44:16)。
祭司每日在此供职，而非在陈设饼的桌子前。它立在幔子前，故称“在耶和华面前”。它被称为桌子，因主将在此如设宴一般，以祂的百姓为乐。故其尺寸比旧时的更大——高三肘、宽二肘，而非高二肘、宽一肘。
English original
22. table . . . before the Lord--the altar of incense
(Eze 44:16).
At it, not at the table of showbread, the priests daily ministered. It stood in front of the veil, and is therefore said to be "before the Lord." It is called a table, as being that at which the Lord will take delight in His people, as at a feast. Hence its dimensions are larger than that of old--three cubits high, two broad, instead of two and one.

25. 厚木板——在门槛处有厚木板的工。
English original
25. thick planks--a thick-plank work at the threshold.
Eze 41:1-26。
圣殿的厢房与装饰。
1. 帐幕——正如他在量外廊时曾指向所罗门的圣殿，照样在此论到建筑本身时，他指向旧约的帐幕；帐幕宽八块板（每块宽一肘半），共计十二肘，正如此处所示。而内部只有十肘。
