Context of Ezekiel 41:9

7The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story; for the structure surrounding the temple went up story by story all around the temple. For this reason the width of the temple increased as it went up, and one went up from the lowest story to the highest by the way of the middle story. 8I saw that the temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full measuring stick of 10½ feet high. The width of the outer wall of the side chambers was 8¾ feet, and the open area between the side chambers of the temple 10and the chambers of the court was 35 feet in width all around the temple on every side. 11There were entrances from the side chambers toward the open area, one entrance toward the north, and another entrance toward the south; the width of the open area was 8¾ feet all around.

Manasseh (2Ki 23:11) had abused these "suburbs of the temple" to keeping horses sacred to the sun. All excuse for such abominations was henceforth to be taken away, the Lord claiming…Read the comment
