Commentary on Ezekiel 41:8

Theological / Devotional

Height of the house. That is, the raised foundation upon which the house rested. This platform seems to have extended 5 cu. (8 1/2 ft.; 2.6 m.) beyond the outer wall of the chambers (vs. 9, 11), forming a walk outside the chambers (p. 716, e).

Great cubits. Heb. ’aṣṣilah, meaning “joint.” Its significance here is not clear. It is probably some architectural term.
