Albert Barnes Commentary Ezekiel 41:1

"And he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle." — Ezekiel 41:1 (ASV)

The Temple - Properly the holy place (a), as distinguished from the porch (G) and the holy of holies (B) (1 Kings 6:17; 1 Kings 7:50).

The posts - The outer wall of the temple was six cubits thick (Ezekiel 41:5). The eastern posts of this wall, forming part of the front of the temple, were ornamented with pillars, six cubits on each side.

He measured the breadth - This breadth was twenty cubits (Ezekiel 41:2). “Tabernacle” is here the interior (the covered portion) of the temple.
