2. 在長度一百肘的前面——即在「空地」前面，那空地的長度就是一百肘
(Eze 41:13)。
他先前曾論到內院北門和南門供職祭司的廂房
(Eze 40:44-46)。
如今他回頭更精確地觀察這些廂房。
英文原文
2. Before the length of an hundred cubits--that is, before "the separate place," which was that length
(Eze 41:13).
He had before spoken of chambers for the officiating priests on the north and south gates of the inner court
(Eze 40:44-46).
He now returns to take a more exact view of them.

5. 較短——即建築隨著高度上升而變窄。廂房眾多：所以「在我父的家裡有許多住處」
(Joh 14:2)；
除此之外還有許多「空位」（比較
Lu 14:22)。
這些廂房雖是私人的，卻靠近聖殿。我們在內室的禱告，是為了預備我們參與公開的敬拜，並幫助我們從中得益。
英文原文
5. shorter--that is, the building became narrower as it rose in height. The chambers were many: so "in My Father's house are many mansions"
(Joh 14:2);
and besides these there was much "room" still left (compare
Lu 14:22).
The chambers, though private, were near the temple. Prayer in our chambers is to prepare us for public devotions, and to help us in improving them.

16. 五百竿——七十士譯本以「肘」代替「竿」，以迴避整個區域所佔的巨大範圍，即一個五百竿或三千肘的方形（每肘二英尺；
結 40:5），
總共為一又七分之一英里的方形，也就是比整個古耶路撒冷還要大；此外，如此一來便留下了大量未使用的空間。FAIRBAIRN 正確地支持英文欽定本，這與希伯來文相符。如此巨大的範圍是標明聖殿理想性質的另一個特徵。它象徵著神國度的極大擴展，當耶和華——彌賽亞在耶路撒冷作王，並從那裡直到地極
（賽 2:2-4； 耶 3:17； 羅 11:12, 15）。
英文原文
16. five hundred reeds--the Septuagint substitutes "cubits" for "reeds," to escape the immense compass assigned to the whole, namely, a square of five hundred rods or three thousand cubits (two feet each;
Eze 40:5),
in all a square of one and one-seventh miles, that is, more than all ancient Jerusalem; also, there is much space thus left unappropriated. FAIRBAIRN rightly supports English Version, which agrees with the Hebrew. The vast extent is another feature marking the ideal character of the temple. It symbolizes the great enlargement of the kingdom of God, when Jehovah-Messiah shall reign at Jerusalem, and from thence to the ends of the earth
(Isa 2:2-4; Jer 3:17; Ro 11:12, 15).

20. 牆……聖所與俗地之間的分隔——分隔的牆不再是用來分隔猶太人與外邦人
（弗 2:14），
而是用來分隔聖與俗。牆的矮小使它不適合防禦之用（城牆的目的，
啟 21:12）。
但其方形（如同那城，
啟 21:16）
是不能震動之國的象徵
（來 12:28），
建立在先知和使徒之上，耶穌基督為房角石。
英文原文
20. wall . . . separation between . . . sanctuary and . . . profane--No longer shall the wall of partition be to separate the Jew and the Gentile
(Eph 2:14),
but to separate the sacred from the profane. The lowness of it renders it unfit for the purpose of defense (the object of the wall,
Re 21:12).
But its square form (as in the city,
Re 21:16)
is the emblem of the kingdom that cannot be shaken
(Heb 12:28),
resting on prophets and apostles, Jesus Christ being the chief corner-stone.
Eze 42:1-20.
