Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 5. A measuring reed of six cubits long] The Hebrew cubit is supposed to be about twenty and a half inches; and a palm, about three inches more; the length of the rod about ten feet six inches.
The breadth-one reed; and the height, one reed.] As this wall was as broad as it was high, it must have been a kind of parapet, which was carried, of the same dimensions, all round the temple. See AAAA in the plan.
Matthew Henry Commentary
- The army and malice of Gog. (Ezek. 38:1-13) God's judgments. (Ezek 38:14-23)
Ezek. 38:1-13 These events will be in the latter days. It is suppose these enemies will come together to invade the land of Judea, and God will defeat them. God not only sees who are now the enemies of his church, but he foresees who will be so, and lets them know by his wor that he is against them; though they join together, the wicked shal not be unpunished.
Ezek. 38:14-23 The enemy should make a formidable descent upon the lan of Israel. When Israel dwell safely under the Divine protection, shal not thou be made to know it by finding that endeavours to destroy the are made in vain? Promises of security are treasured up in the word of God, against the troubles and dangers the church may be brought into in the latter days. In the destruction of sinners, God makes it appea that he is a great and holy God. We should desire and pray daily Father, glorify thine own name _________________________________________________
