Ezekiel 40:30

(The porticoes around the inner court were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — Ezekiel receives a visionary tour of a restored temple, where architectural specifications for the inner court are recorded.

The words — The Hebrew אֵלַמּוֹת ('e.la.Mot) identifies the porticoes, while אֹרֶךְ ('O.rekh) and רֹחַב (Ro.chav) denote their length and breadth.

The thread — Parallel architectural descriptions for gate chambers and porticoes appear in Ezekiel 40:21, 40:25, and 40:29, where the text details the dimensions of other temple entrances.

Why it lands — The text reports exact measurements for the inner court porticoes without commentary, requiring the reader to accept the precise physical layout presented in the vision.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
