In ancient Near Eastern architecture, entrances often symbolized access to the divine presence. The number ten can also represent completeness or divine order in biblical numerology, suggesting the perfection of God's design.and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side The sides of the entrance being five cubits (approximately 7.5 feet) on each side indicate a balanced and symmetrical design, which is a common feature in sacred architecture. The number five can symbolize grace or God's goodness, possibly highlighting the grace extended to those entering the temple. This symmetry may also reflect the order and harmony of God's creation.He also measured the length of the outer sanctuary to be forty cubits The outer sanctuary's length of forty cubits (approximately 60 feet) is significant, as the number forty often represents a period of testing, trial, or preparation in the Bible, such as the forty years in the wilderness or Jesus' forty days of fasting. This measurement may symbolize the preparation required to enter into God's presence or the journey of faith.and the width to be twenty cubits The width of twenty cubits (approximately 30 feet) complements the length, creating a rectangular space that is conducive to worship and reverence. The number twenty can symbolize a period of waiting or expectation, possibly indicating the anticipation of God's presence.

This would have the effect of rendering the door into the holy place more conspicuous. The sides (or, shoulders) of the door - according to Kliefoth, "the side walls," from the door to the corner pillars; according to Keil, the shoulders lay behind the pillars - were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other; i.e. were as broad as the posts of the porch. The length of the holy place, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty, were the same as in the Solomonic structure. The entire frontage of the holy place was 20 cubits of interior breadth + 12 (2 x 6) cubits, as breadth of pillars - 32 cubits; or, otherwise, 6 + 6, for the two pillars, 5 + 5 for the sides, and 10 for the door opening = 32 cubits in all. <a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/41-2.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>The width וְרֹ֣חַב (wə·rō·ḥaḇ) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7341.htm">Strong's 7341: </a> Breadth, width of the entrance הַפֶּתַח֮ (hap·pe·ṯaḥ) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6607.htm">Strong's 6607: </a> An opening, door, entrance way [was] ten עֶ֣שֶׂר (‘e·śer) Number - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6235.htm">Strong's 6235: </a> Ten cubits, אַמּוֹת֒ (’am·mō·wṯ) Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_520.htm">Strong's 520: </a> A mother, a cubit, a door-base and the sides וְכִתְפ֣וֹת (wə·ḵiṯ·p̄ō·wṯ) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3802.htm">Strong's 3802: </a> The shoulder, side-piece, lateral projection of anything of the entrance הַפֶּ֔תַח (hap·pe·ṯaḥ) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6607.htm">Strong's 6607: </a> An opening, door, entrance way [were] five חָמֵ֤שׁ (ḥā·mêš) Number - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2568.htm">Strong's 2568: </a> Five cubits אַמּוֹת֙ (’am·mō·wṯ) Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_520.htm">Strong's 520: </a> A mother, a cubit, a door-base on each מִפּ֔וֹ (mip·pōw) Preposition-m | Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6311.htm">Strong's 6311: </a> This place, here side. מִפּ֑וֹ (mip·pōw) Preposition-m | Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6311.htm">Strong's 6311: </a> This place, here He also measured וַיָּ֤מָד (way·yā·māḏ) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4058.htm">Strong's 4058: </a> To stretch, to measure, to be extended the length [of the outer sanctuary] אָרְכּוֹ֙ (’ā·rə·kōw) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_753.htm">Strong's 753: </a> Length [to be] forty אַרְבָּעִ֣ים (’ar·bā·‘îm) Number - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_705.htm">Strong's 705: </a> Forty cubits, אַמּ֖וֹת (’am·mō·wṯ) Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_520.htm">Strong's 520: </a> A mother, a cubit, a door-base and the width וְרֹ֖חַב (wə·rō·ḥaḇ) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7341.htm">Strong's 7341: </a> Breadth, width twenty עֶשְׂרִ֥ים (‘eś·rîm) Number - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6242.htm">Strong's 6242: </a> Twenty, twentieth cubits. אַמָּ֔ה (’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/41-2.htm">Ezekiel 41:2 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/ezekiel/41-2.htm">Ezekiel 41:2 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/ezekiel/41-2.htm">Ezekiel 41:2 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/ezekiel/41-2.htm">Ezekiel 41:2 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/ezekiel/41-2.htm">Ezekiel 41:2 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/41-2.htm">Ezekiel 41:2 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/41-2.htm">Ezekiel 41:2 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/41-2.htm">Ezekiel 41:2 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/41-2.htm">Ezekiel 41:2 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/ezekiel/41-2.htm">Ezekiel 41:2 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/ezekiel/41-2.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 41:2 The breadth of the entrance was ten (Ezek.
