Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(26) Windows and palm trees.--These have already been mentioned in connection with the gateways (Ezekiel 40:16), and are now further described as in the "side chambers of the temple." The last word, translated "thick planks," is very obscure. If it be the plural of the word used in Ezekiel 41:25, it would mean that the mouldings in front of the porches were also carved with palm trees.It is to be observed that in these outer parts of the Temple only palm trees were used in the ornamentation, the cherubim being reserved for the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies.The description of the Temple proper is now finished, and it is noticeable how very little is said of its interior furniture and arrangements. There is no mention at all of that profuse overlaying with gold so characteristic of Solomon's Temple; nothing is said of the candlestick, or the table of show-bread; even the ark itself, that climax of Israel's symbolic worship, is not mentioned. The prophet seems to be looking forward to the time described by his contemporary, Jeremiah, when these outward symbols should be forgotten in the higher spiritual presence of the Lord: "They shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD; neither shall it come to mind. . . . At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD, and all the nations shall be gathered unto it" (Jeremiah 3:16-17).Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThere were beveledאֲטֻמ֤וֹת (’ă·ṭu·mō·wṯ)Verb - Qal - QalPassParticiple - feminine pluralStrong's 331: To close, to contractwindowsוְחַלּוֹנִ֨ים (wə·ḥal·lō·w·nîm)Conjunctive waw | Noun - common pluralStrong's 2474: A windowand palm treesוְתִֽמֹרִים֙ (wə·ṯi·mō·rîm)Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine pluralStrong's 8561: A palm-like pilasteron the side wallsכִּתְפ֖וֹת (kiṯ·p̄ō·wṯ)Noun - feminine plural constructStrong's 3802: The shoulder, side-piece, lateral projection of anythingof the portico.הָֽאוּלָ֑ם (hā·’ū·lām)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 197: A vestibuleThe side roomsוְצַלְע֥וֹת (wə·ṣal·‘ō·wṯ)Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine plural constructStrong's 6763: A rib, a side, a, timber, plankof the templeהַבַּ֖יִת (hab·ba·yiṯ)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1004: A housealso had canopies.וְהָעֻבִּֽים׃ (wə·hā·‘ub·bîm)Conjunctive waw, Article | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 5646: Perhaps a landingJump to PreviousBeams Carved Chambers Closed Covered Either House Latticed Narrow Palm Palm-Trees Places Planks Porch Portico Recessed Rooms Side Side-Chambers Side-Rooms Sides Sidewalls Sloping Temple Thick Thresholds Trees Vestibule Way Windows
