ezekiel 42:5 Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.

ezekiel 42:5 Now the upper chambers [were] smaller because the galleries took more [space] away from them than from the lower and middle ones in the building.

5. shorter--that is, the building became narrower as it rose in height. The chambers were many: so "in My Father's house are many mansions" (Joh 14:2); and besides these there was much "room" still left (compare Lu 14:22). The chambers, though private, were near the temple. Prayer in our chambers is to prepare us for public devotions, and to help us in improving them.

ezekiel 42:5 Now the upper chambers [were] smaller because the galleries took more [space] away from them than from the lower and middle ones in the building.
