the glory: Though the personal presence of Immanuel in the second temple rendered it more glorious than that of Solomon (Hag 2:5-9), yet this part of the vision rather relates to the times predicted in the whole of this description, those which shall succeed the conversion of the Jews, and their restoration to their own land.

setting: Eze 5:11, Eze 8:3-16, Eze 23:39, Eze 44:7; Kg2 16:14, Kg2 16:15, Kg2 21:4-7, Kg2 23:11, Kg2 23:12; Ch2 33:4, Ch2 33:7
and the wall between me and them: or, for there was but a wall between me and them
Now let: Rather, "Now shall they put away their whoredom and the carcases of their kings far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them forever." It is a prediction and promise, and not an exhortation. Eze 18:30,Eze 18:31; Hos 2:2; Col 3:5-9
the carcases: Eze 43:7, Eze 37:23
and I: Eze 43:7, Eze 37:26-28; Co2 6:16
show: Eze 40:4; Exo 25:40; Ch1 28:11, Ch1 28:19
that they: Eze 43:11, Eze 16:61, Eze 16:63, Eze 23:31, Eze 23:32; Rom 6:21
pattern: or, sum, or number
show them: Ezek. 40:1-42:20, Eze 44:5, Eze 44:6; Heb 8:5

the measures: Exo 27:1-8; Ch2 4:1
The cubits: Eze 40:5, Eze 41:8
bottom: Heb. bosom
edge: Heb. lip
the lower settle: These settles were ledges by which the altar was narrowed towards the top; and the whole of it may thus be computed:
Temple Dimensions Height (in Cubits) Base Eze 43:13 1 To first ledge Eze 43:14 1 To upper ledge Eze 43:14 4 To hearth Eze 43:15 4 Total Height 10 Breadth (in Cubits) Upper ledge Eze 43:17 14 For higher ledge Eze 43:14 2 For lower ledge Eze 43:14 2 For base Eze 43:13 2 Total Breadth 20 Hence the upper part of the altar was only twelve cubits square (Eze 43:16), the upper settle, or ledge, being in all fourteen cubits (Eze 43:17), deducting two cubits from its dimensions. Though this altar was the same in height, and breadth with that of Solomon, yet it differed materially from it in having settles or ledges; on which the priests walked round the altar, to officiate in offering sacrifices.
the altar: Heb. Harel, that is, the mountain of God, Probably so called in opposition to the idolatrous high places.
the altar: Heb. Ariel, that is, the lion of God, Rather, "the hearth of God," from the Arabic irat or iryat a hearth, and ail God. Isa 29:1, Isa 29:2, Isa 29:7
four horns: Exo 27:2; Lev 9:9; Kg1 2:28; Psa 118:27
twelve cubits: Exo 27:1; Ch2 4:1; Ezr 3:3
and the border: Exo 25:25, Exo 30:3; Kg1 18:32
his stairs: Rather, "its ascents," maalothehoo probably an inclined plane; for the law ordained that the priest should not ascend by stairs. Exo 20:26
look toward: Eze 8:16, Eze 40:6; Kg1 6:8; Neh 9:4
