NKJV groups this chapter into:

Verse 1

Then he brought me out into the outer court, by the way toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber which was opposite the separating courtyard, and which was opposite the building toward the north. (NKJV)[6]
  • The vision was given on the 25th anniversary of Ezekiel's exile, "April 28, 573 BCE";[7] 14 years after the fall of Jerusalem and 12 years after the last messages of hope in chapter 39.[8]

Verse 2

Facing the length, which was one hundred cubits (the width was fifty cubits), was the north door. (NKJV)[9]
  • "Cubit": here is a "long cubit", about 21 inches (53 cm), as defined in Ezekiel 40:5.[8]

Verse 13

Then he said to me, “The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the separating courtyard, are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the Lord shall eat the most holy offerings. There they shall lay the most holy offerings—the grain offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering—for the place is holy. (NKJV)[10]

Cross reference: Ezekiel 40:38-39; Ezekiel 44:28-31; Leviticus 2:1-10; Leviticus 7:7-10

  • The vestibules of the inner gates are sanctified for the preparation of the offerings: "burnt, sin and guilt offerings" (Leviticus 1:1-7:38).[7]
