The measures, parts, chambers, and ornaments of the temple.
After the measuring of the courts, &c., now the prophet is brought to see the temple itself measured. The posts; the thickness of the walls (called posts here, as also Eze_40:48) on the north side and on the south side of the gate. Six cubits broad; one whole reed in thickness. These walls in their thickness took up as much space as the whole breadth of Moses’s tabernacle, Exo_26:22-25, where eight boards, each one cubit and half broad, make just the breadth of the tabernacle, twelve cubits.
