Kaisipang Hudyo sa Ezekiel 40:35: The Third Beit HaMikdash

“And He brought me to the Northern Gate. He measured [the gate] according to those measures.¹I.e., the gate was the same size of the Outer Courtyard gate. It had cells, pillars, and vestibules, and there were windows in it all around. It was 50 cubits high²As mentioned above (sec. 3), although the term ארך usually means “long,” here it means “high.” and 25 cubits wide.”³Yechezkel 40:35-36. These verses teach us that there were 25 cubits between the edge of the cell on one side and the edge of the cell opposite it. “Its vestibules were toward” – i.e., projected into – “the Outer Courtyard. There were palm-like coronets on its pillars, and its stairway had eight steps.”⁴Ibid.:37.
