The temple's orientation and layout are significant, reflecting the detailed plans given by God. The westward position of this building may symbolize the direction of the setting sun, often associated with the end of a day or era, possibly indicating a place of completion or finality. In biblical symbolism, the west can also represent the direction of exile, as Israel was taken to Babylon in the east and would return from the west. This building's placement in the vision underscores the comprehensive nature of God's restoration plan for His people.was seventy cubits wide The measurement of seventy cubits is notable, as numbers in the Bible often carry symbolic meaning. The number seventy can represent completeness or perfection, as seen in the seventy elders of Israel (<a href="/exodus/24.htm">Exodus 24:1</a>) and the seventy years of Babylonian captivity (<a href="/jeremiah/25-11.htm">Jeremiah 25:11</a>). This width suggests a structure of significant size and importance, possibly indicating a place of gathering or administration within the temple complex.and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around The thickness of the wall at five cubits indicates a strong and fortified structure. In biblical numerology, the number five can symbolize grace or God's goodness. The substantial thickness of the wall may imply protection and security, reflecting God's provision and safeguarding of His holy place. This detail emphasizes the temple's role as a sanctuary, a place set apart for divine presence and worship.with a length of ninety cubits The length of ninety cubits further highlights the building's grandeur and significance. The number nine, often associated with finality or judgment, multiplied by ten (a number of completeness) could suggest a complete and final establishment of God's purposes. This measurement, combined with the width and wall thickness, portrays a structure of considerable magnitude, integral to the temple's function and symbolism.

Nothing is here said of the purposes of this other building; but it is probably "the appointed place" (<a href="/ezekiel/43-21.htm" title="You shall take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.">Ezekiel 43:21</a>) for the burning of the sin-offering, and also of any remains of other sacrifices which required to be consumed by fire, and of any other refuse from the Temple. Its total width of 80 cubits (70 cubits + 2 walls of 5 cubits each) leaves a passage-way of 10 cubits on each side; while its length (90 cubits + two walls of 5 cubits each--100 cubits) Just fills the space from "the separate place" to the wall of the court. (See plan II., G. [<a href="/context/ezekiel/40-44.htm" title="And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.">Ezekiel 40:44-49</a>]) The sum-total of the exterior measurements is given in <a href="/context/ezekiel/41-13.htm" title="So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;">Ezekiel 41:13-14</a>.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/41.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 12-14. - The separate place. Verse 12. - The building that was before the separate place. The word הַגּזְרָה, occurring only in this chapter, and translated "separate place," is derived from a root signifying to "cut off," and here denotes a space behind the temple on the west, which was marked off from the rest of the ground on which the temple with its courts and chambers stood, and devoted most likely to less sacred purposes. Behind Solomon's temple lay a similar space (<a href="/2_kings/23-11.htm">2 Kings 23:11</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/26-18.htm">1 Chronicles 26:18</a>), with buildings upon it and a separate way out; and as the name gizrah appears to convey the notion of something that required to be kept apart and removed from the sacred precincts, the opinion of Kliefoth is probably correct that "this space with its buildings was to be used for the reception of all refuse, sweepings, all kinds of rubbish - in brief, of everything that was separated or rejected when the holy service was performed in the temple, and that this was the reason why it received the name of 'the separate place.' The dimensions of this building were (1) the breadth, seventy cubits; (2) the length, ninety cubits; (3) the thickness of the wall, five cubits round about. Vers. 13, 14. - Thus the whole breadth of this erection was seventy plus ten, or eighty cubits; which, with ten cubits of free space on the north and south sides, make a hundred cubits in all. Its whole length was ninety plus ten, or a hundred cubits. The entire area was thus once more a hundred cubits square. At this point, again, a convenient estimate of the whole dimensions of the temple area may be made. . . . <a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/41-12.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Now the building וְהַבִּנְיָ֡ן (wə·hab·bin·yān) Conjunctive waw, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1146.htm">Strong's 1146: </a> A structure that אֲשֶׁר֩ (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that faced אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to the temple courtyard הַגִּזְרָ֜ה (hag·giz·rāh) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1508.htm">Strong's 1508: </a> The figure, person, an inclosure on דֶּֽרֶךְ־ (de·reḵ-) Noun - common singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1870.htm">Strong's 1870: </a> A road, a course of life, mode of action the west הַיָּ֗ם (hay·yām) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3220.htm">Strong's 3220: </a> A sea, the Mediterranean Sea, large river, an artifical basin [was] seventy שִׁבְעִ֣ים (šiḇ·‘îm) Number - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7657.htm">Strong's 7657: </a> Seventy (a cardinal number) cubits אַמָּ֔ה (’am·māh) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_520.htm">Strong's 520: </a> A mother, a cubit, a door-base wide, רֹ֚חַב (rō·ḥaḇ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7341.htm">Strong's 7341: </a> Breadth, width and the wall וְקִ֧יר (wə·qîr) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7023.htm">Strong's 7023: </a> A wall of the building הַבִּנְיָ֛ן (hab·bin·yān) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1146.htm">Strong's 1146: </a> A structure [was] five חָֽמֵשׁ־ (ḥā·mêš-) Number - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2568.htm">Strong's 2568: </a> Five cubits אַמּ֥וֹת (’am·mō·wṯ) Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_520.htm">Strong's 520: </a> A mother, a cubit, a door-base thick רֹ֖חַב (rō·ḥaḇ) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7341.htm">Strong's 7341: </a> Breadth, width all סָבִ֣יב ׀ (sā·ḇîḇ) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5439.htm">Strong's 5439: </a> A circle, neighbour, environs, around around סָבִ֑יב (sā·ḇîḇ) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5439.htm">Strong's 5439: </a> A circle, neighbour, environs, around and a length וְאָרְכּ֖וֹ (wə·’ā·rə·kōw) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_753.htm">Strong's 753: </a> Length of ninety תִּשְׁעִ֥ים (tiš·‘îm) Number - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8673.htm">Strong's 8673: </a> Ninety cubits. אַמָּֽה׃ (’am·māh) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_520.htm">Strong's 520: </a> A mother, a cubit, a door-base <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/41-12.htm">Ezekiel 41:12 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/ezekiel/41-12.htm">Ezekiel 41:12 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/ezekiel/41-12.htm">Ezekiel 41:12 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/ezekiel/41-12.htm">Ezekiel 41:12 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/ezekiel/41-12.htm">Ezekiel 41:12 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/41-12.htm">Ezekiel 41:12 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/41-12.htm">Ezekiel 41:12 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/41-12.htm">Ezekiel 41:12 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/41-12.htm">Ezekiel 41:12 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/ezekiel/41-12.htm">Ezekiel 41:12 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/ezekiel/41-12.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 41:12 The building that was before the separate (Ezek.
