Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 42:15

"Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about." — Ezekiel 42:15 (ASV)

The inner house.— This expression is here evidently used neither for the Holy of Holies, nor for the whole Temple building exclusively, but for all that had been measured—all that was included within the wall of the outer court. The prophet is led out from this by the eastern gate to measure a much larger space around it. It is not said in what part of this space the Temple with its courts was situated; but, for the reason given in Ezekiel 42:20, it is to be supposed that it was in the centre.
