SEV Biblia, Chapter 43:17
Y el patio era de catorce codos de longitud y catorce de anchura en sus cuatro lados, y de medio codo el borde alrededor; y el medio que tenía aro de un codo por todos lados; y sus gradas estaban al oriente.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:17
Verse 17. And the settle] The ledge on which the priests walked round the altar, see ver. 14. By these settles or ledges the altar was narrowed towards the top. "The ascent shall look toward the east;" this ascent was an inclined plane. But these settles, or more properly ledges, as Bp. Newcome translates, may be thus computed. The altar itself was ten feet high and twenty broad; the same as that of Solomon, 2 Chron. iv. 1.
Cubits For the base, ver. 13, is in height. 1 From the surface of the base to the first ledge, ver. 1 From the lower ledge to the upper, ver. 14. 4 From the upper ledge to the ariel or hearth, ver. 15, 4 In all 10 And as to the breadth, the upper ledge, ver. 17, was 14 Add a cubit on each side for the higher ledge, ver. 14, latter pa 2 Add a cubit on each side for the lower ledge, ver. 14, former p 2 Add a cubit on each side for the base, ver. 13, 2 In all 20 The altar of burnt-offerings, described Exod. xxvii. 1; xxxviii. 1, was smaller than this, because it was to be removed from place to place with the tabernacle.
This was designed for a permanent temple. See Bp. Newcome on this chapter.
Matthew Henry Commentary
After Ezekiel had surveyed the temple of God, he had a vision of the glory of God. When Christ crucified, and the things freely given to u of God, through Him, are shown to us by the Holy Ghost, they make u ashamed for our sins. This frame of mind prepares us for fulle discoveries of the mysteries of redeeming love; and the whole of the Scriptures should be opened and applied, that men may see their sins and repent of them. We are not now to offer any atoning sacrifices, for by one offering Christ has perfected for ever those that ar sanctified, Heb. 10:14; but the sprinkling of his blood is needful in all our approaches to God the Father. Our best services can be accepte only as sprinkled with the blood which cleanses from all sin __________________________________________________________________
