以西結書 42:14
祭司進去出了聖所的時候，不可直到外院，但要在聖屋放下他們供職的衣服，因為是聖衣。要穿上別的衣服，才可以到屬民的外院。」

5,000 reeds in breadth, for the city (ver.

以西結書 42:15
他量完了內殿，就帶我出朝東的門，量院的四圍。

.) The city was situated in the midst of this portion, being

4,500 reeds, or about nine miles square, (see on ver.

30,) having a suburb of

250 reeds, or about half a mile, on each side, (ver.

以西結書 42:17
用竿量北面，五百肘。

.) leaving

10,000 reeds or nearly ten miles, on the east side, and the same on the west side, for the profit of those who serve the city out of all the tribes, (ver.

以西結書 42:18
用竿量南面，五百肘。

,

以西結書 42:19
又轉到西面，用竿量五百肘。

.) On the east and west sides of this square of

25,000 reeds, is the portion of the prince; each of which, estimating the breadth of the land at

150 miles, would form a square of fifty miles. Thus the whole plan of the division of the country, laying out of the city, temple, and all its appendages, is perfectly regular and uniform; and would therefore convey to the minds of the Jews the most complete idea they were capable of conceiving of the most perfect church, commonwealth, city, temple, and conveniences, on the largest and grandest scale for the Divine worship; and it doubtless ultimately points out the land of Immanuel, the city of the New Jerusalem, and his temple, the Christian church, the house of the living God.

提摩太前書 3:15
倘若我耽延日久，你也可以知道在神的家中當怎樣行。這家就是永生神的教會，真理的柱石和根基。
