And the wall that was without over against the chambers,.... This wall separated and distinguished the chambers from the outward court, as well as was a protection of them; and signifies the grace and power of God, which separates his true churches from the world, and is the security of them; See Gill on "Eze 11:5"this was towards the utter court, on the fore part of the chambers; or front of them, which seems to be to the north of them; since their doors were towards the north, Eze 42:4, though Cocceius makes it to be to the west, which better agrees with what follows:the length thereof was fifty cubits; which answers to the breadth of the chambers, Eze 42:2 and what is called length here, with respect to the wall, is called the breadth with respect to the chambers.
