And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand, &c.] Not that the sense is, that of and according to the cubit measure last mentioned, this length and this breadth should be measured; but “after this measure”, as Starckius renders it, and as the particle is rendered, (<271123>Daniel 11:23 <161321>Nehemiah 13:21) and which Sanctius mentions; and Jerom seems to have understood it in this light: and the sense is, that after he had finished the measure of five hundred reeds square, and fifty cubits round, he should proceed to measure the rest of the twenty five thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: and in it shall be the sanctuary, and the most holy place; that is, in the midst portion of land, consisting of the above measures, be the holy place, and the holy of holies; this is, but a further explanation of the two preceding verses.
