Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way toward the north. Then he brought me into the room that was opposite the separate place, and which was opposite the building toward the north. See also: Ezekiel 40:17Ezekiel 40:20Ezekiel 41:12-15Facing the length of one hundred cubits was the north door, and the width was fifty cubits. See also: Ezekiel 41:13Opposite the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the three stories. See also: Ezekiel 41:15-16Ezekiel 41:102 Chronicles 7:3Before the rooms was a walk of ten cubits’ width inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north. See also: Ezekiel 46:19Matthew 7:14Luke 13:24Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these more than from the lower and the middle in the building. See also: Ezekiel 41:7For they were in three stories, and they didn’t have pillars as the pillars of the courts. Therefore the uppermost was set back more than the lowest and the middle from the ground. See also: Ezekiel 41:61 Kings 6:8The wall that was outside by the side of the rooms, toward the outer court before the rooms, was fifty cubits long. See also: Ezekiel 42:10Ezekiel 42:12For the length of the rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. Behold, those facing the temple were one hundred cubits. See also: Ezekiel 41:13-14From under these rooms was the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court. See also: Ezekiel 46:19Ezekiel 44:5In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were rooms. See also: Ezekiel 42:1Ezekiel 42:13Ezekiel 40:17The way before them was like the appearance of the rooms which were toward the north. Their length and width were the same. All their exits had the same arrangement and doors. See also: Ezekiel 42:4Like the doors of the rooms that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one enters into them. Then he said to me, “The north rooms and the south rooms, which are opposite the separate place, are the holy rooms, where the priests who are near to the LORD shall eat the most holy things. There they shall lay the most holy things, with the meal offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy. See also: Leviticus 7:6Leviticus 10:17Ezekiel 40:46When the priests enter in, then they shall not go out of the holy place into the outer court until they lay their garments in which they minister there; for they are holy. Then they shall put on other garments, and shall approach that which is for the people.” See also: Ezekiel 44:19Leviticus 8:7Leviticus 8:13Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate which faces toward the east, and measured it all around. See also: Ezekiel 43:1Ezekiel 41:2-5Ezekiel 41:15He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed all around. See also: Ezekiel 40:3Revelation 11:1-2Zechariah 2:1He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed all around. He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall around it, the length five hundred cubits, and the width five hundred cubits, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).

Ezekiel 42:1
Ver. 1. And. S. Jerom finding the Sept. and others varying in the explanations, gives his own; yet adopts the saying of Socrates, "I know that I am ignorant:"
for this also is a part of science. W. ---
Outward, with respect to the temple. It is styled inner court, with reference to that of the people.
--- Separate. C. xli. 9.
↑ 1Ezekiel 42:3
Ver. 3. Triple, one over another, (v. 6.) or on a level with the priests' court.
↑ 3Ezekiel 42:4
Ver. 4. One cubit, projecting out perhaps for seats, or for the pilasters.
↑ 4Ezekiel 42:5
Ver. 5. Above. The higher stories are not so lofty.
↑ 5Ezekiel 42:6
Ver. 6. Fifty cubits. We only allow thirty, as this is not in Heb. &c. The text, v. 10.
and 12, seems incorrect. C.
↑ 6Ezekiel 42:13
Ver. 13. Holies. Heb. "who are very holy," and (H.) on duty. See Lev. vi. 25.
↑ 13Ezekiel 42:14
Ver. 14. People. C. xliv. 17. Ex. xxxiii. 42. Christian priests use their vestments only when they are officiating. Durand and Durant Rit. ii. 9. C.

Ver. 16. Five. Heb. emoth should be meoth, "three hundred, as it is printed (yet not in the Prot.
version. H.) thrice just after, and as it is written here in MS. 4. Camb. 1. 2."
Kennicott. --- Reeds.
Sept. "cubits," as Heb. S. Jer. &c. insinuate. The mountain was only five hundred paces square, even when it was enlarged in the time of Josephus.
Bel. vi. 14. Gr. --- We must therefore read cubits. C. --- If we retain reeds, (H.) the wall will be twelve thousand cubits, (M.) which seems improbable.
Tournemine. See C. xlv. H.
↑ 16Ezekiel 42:20
Ver. 20. Cubits. This confirms the former correction. v. 16. H. --- Heb. has only,
"of five hundred." Maldonat and A. Lapide would understand reeds, to agree with what goes before. M.
--- Separation. Josephus mentions a wall three cubits high, on the pillars of which was written in Greek and Latin, that such as entered the temple must be pure, (C.) and no stranger. H. --- Into this court all might come. Philo. C.
