And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures, &c.] These were at the gate of the inner court; and so they stand in Cocceius’s tables; and were of the same measure with the little chambers, posts, and arches, that were at the several outward gates before described; and design the churches and members of them as spiritual worshippers, who, besides the outward form, have the power of godliness: and there were windows in it, and in the arches thereof round about; these are not said to be narrow, as the other; which perhaps may denote the greater and more increasing light of the churches, ministers, and members: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad: that is, the space or portico where these chambers were; and this was the same measure with that where the other chambers were, (<264013>Ezekiel 40:13,15).
