What Does Ezekiel 42:15 Mean?
The vision's scope expands outward from the inner sanctuary. With the inner measurements complete, the angel moves Ezekiel to an overview perspective, measuring the outer perimeter of the entire temple complex. The eastern gate, facing the approach route, becomes the starting point for this comprehensive measurement.
This outward movement parallels the priestly journey: from the most holy inner spaces to the broader complex. The measurement around the entire structure emphasizes that all the space—inner and outer—comprises one integrated sanctuary design.
