Chapter xli.
The man with the measuring reed had gradually introduced in the vision
Ezekiel to the outer wall and outer and inner court of this great future
temple. The chambers, posts, gateways, sacrificial tables, etc., were
all described in detail and so the prophet was brought into the temple
vestibule (xl:48-49) to be led on into the temple itself. He beholds now
the Holy place, the Most Holy, the side buildings, the hinder buildings
and the interior of the temple.
