The oblation ye shall offer unto the Lord For his sanctuary and priests: see Ezekiel 45:1: shall be five and twenty thousand in length See note on Ezekiel 45:3. Toward the north five and twenty thousand in length The dimensions from east to west are called by the name of breadth here, but of length, Ezekiel 48:8, and so they truly are, as may appear from the description given of the whole in the notes on the xlvth chapter. But Houbigant reads this verse more intelligibly, as follows: “Toward the north the length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits; likewise toward the south the length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits; and the breadth toward the east shall be ten thousand cubits; and toward the west ten thousand cubits,” &c.
