Wesley: Eze 41:9 - The place

The walk and wall.

JFB: Eze 41:9 - that which was left

There was an unoccupied place within chambers that belonged to the house. The buildings in this unoccupied place, west of the temple, and so much resembling it in size, imply that no place was to be left which was to be held, as of old, not sacred. Manasseh (2Ki 23:11) had abused these "suburbs of the temple" to keeping horses sacred to the sun. All excuse for such abominations was henceforth to be taken away, the Lord claiming every space, and filling up this also with sacred erections [FAIRBAIRN].

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Eze 41:9 - That which was left // Within the walk and wall

The outward wall for these chambers was five cubits in thickness, and was made of stone, which added both beauty and strength to the other part of the building, and served as buttresses to the temple wall.

That which was left that space which was left without this wall, about five cubits broad, and served for a walk before the chambers, or for a passage from one chamber to another.

Within the walk and wall

Haydock: Eze 41:9 - House

House. Because these side-chambers were in the very walls of the temple all around: or it may also be rendered, (more agreeably to the Hebrew) so as to signify, that the thickness of the wall for the side-chambers within was the same as that of the wall without; that is, equally five cubits. (Challoner) ---

Protestants, "and that which was left, was the place of the side-chambers that were within." (Haydock) ---

To manifest a greater respect for God, the apartments of the priests were twenty-five cubits from the temple, (ver. 10.) and divided by a wall, which Josephus describes as three cubits high. (Antiquities viii. 2.) This wall was at the distance of five cubits from the temple. (Calmet)

Gill: Eze 41:9 - The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chambers without, was five cubits // and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within

The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chambers without, was five cubits,.... This is the outward wall of the chambers, north and south, which was five cubits thick, made of stone; See Gill on Eze 41:5,

and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within; this was a void space, not built upon, which was before the chambers that stood within it; and was a space to walk in for those that dwelt in the chambers, or to go in from chamber to chamber; which also was five cubits in breadth, as appears from the next verse. This may denote the communion of churches, and the members of them one with another.
