chamber . This seems to denote a row of chambers in three stories; which appear to have been situated in the inner court . here called the outer court in reference to the temple , Ezekiel 42 . 13 , Ezekiel 42 . 14 , just before the separate place , at the entrance from the north.

Before . Perhaps this means , that the north door was 100 cubits from the entrance into the court; and that the door-way , or portico , was 50 cubits in length; or , that it faced one of the cloisters , the length of which was 100 cubits , and its breadth 50 , which was the proportion of all the cloisters.

the measuring reed . Estimating the reed at 10+ feet , 500 reeds will be nearly equal to a mile; so that from this statement we find the temple , with its outbuildings , was built on a square , nearly an English mile on each side , and four miles in circumference. This not only far exceeds the size of Solomon's temple , or that after the captivity , which was only 500 cubits , or a furlong , on each side , and exactly half a mile in circuit; but is nearly equal to the whole extent of Jerusalem itself , which , when greatest , was but 33 furlongs in circumference , somewhat less than 4+ miles. This seems clearly to intimate , that the vision cannot be explained of any temple that has hitherto been built , or indeed of any literal temple , but figuratively and mystically of the spiritual temple , the church under the gospel , and its spiritual glory.
