2 And the breadth H7341 of the door H6607 was ten H6235 cubits; H520 and the sides H3802 of the door H6607 were five H2568 cubits H520 on the one side, and five H2568 cubits H520 on the other side: and he measured H4058 the length H753 thereof, forty H705 cubits: H520 and the breadth, H7341 twenty H6242 cubits. H520
And the house H1004 which king H4428 Solomon H8010 built H1129 for the LORD, H3068 the length H753 thereof was threescore H8346 cubits, H520 and the breadth H7341 thereof twenty H6242 cubits, and the height H6967 thereof thirty H7970 cubits. H520
And the house, H1004 that is, the temple H1964 before H3942 it, was forty H705 cubits H520 long.
And thou shalt make H6213 an hanging H4539 for the door H6607 of the tent, H168 of blue, H8504 and purple, H713 and scarlet, H8438 H8144 and fine twined H7806 linen, H8336 wrought H4639 with needlework. H7551
And he made H6213 an hanging H4539 for the tabernacle H168 door H6607 of blue, H8504 and purple, H713 and scarlet, H8144 H8438 and fine twined H7806 linen, H8336 of needlework; H7551 H4639
And for the entering H6607 of the oracle H1687 he made H6213 doors H1817 of olive H8081 tree: H6086 the lintel H352 and side posts H4201 were a fifth part H2549 of the wall. The two H8147 doors H1817 also were of olive H8081 tree; H6086 and he carved H7049 upon them carvings H4734 of cherubims H3742 and palm trees H8561 and open H6362 flowers, H6731 and overlaid H6823 them with gold, H2091 and spread H7286 gold H2091 upon the cherubims, H3742 and upon the palm trees. H8561 So also made H6213 he for the door H6607 of the temple H1964 posts H4201 of olive H8081 tree, H6086 a fourth part H7243 of the wall. And the two H8147 doors H1817 were of fir H1265 tree: H6086 the two H8147 leaves H6763 of the one H259 door H1817 were folding, H1550 and the two H8147 leaves H7050 of the other H8145 door H1817 were folding. H1550 And he carved H7049 thereon cherubims H3742 and palm trees H8561 and open H6362 flowers: H6731 and covered H6823 them with gold H2091 fitted H3474 upon the carved work. H2707
He overlaid H2645 also the house, H1004 the beams, H6982 the posts, H5592 and the walls H7023 thereof, and the doors H1817 thereof, with gold; H2091 and graved H6605 cherubims H3742 on the walls. H7023

Commentary on Ezekiel 41 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 41
An account was given of the porch of the house in the close of the foregoing chapter; this brings us to the temple itself, the description of which here given creates much difficulty to the critical expositors and occasions differences among them. Those must consult them who are nice in their enquiries into the meaning of the particulars of this delineation; it shall suffice us to observe,
