Commentary on Ezekiel 40:2

Theological / Devotional

Very high mountain. The prophet was placed upon an eminent spot so that from a vantage point he might examine the details of the vision.

By which. Literally, “upon it.”

Frame of a city. The temple and its courts surrounded by walls gave the impression of a walled city (for the size see on v. 5).
