Ezekiel 40:35

“And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures;”

Immediate Context

The preceding line reads “And the arches thereof were toward the outward court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps.” The titled verse reads “And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures;” The following line reads “The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.” Together, these lines show how Ezekiel 40:35 functions within its immediate canonical and literary sequence.

Reading the Verse

The verse belongs to prophetic or apocalyptic discourse. Its words must be read as part of the message in which they occur, paying attention to the speaker, audience, warning, promise, vision, or historical circumstance stated by the passage.

The sentence centres on “And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures;” Every part of the study must remain accountable to that statement. The text should be allowed to set the subject, vocabulary, and limits of interpretation.

Biblical Significance

Prophetic Scripture joins God’s authority with a concrete address to people and events. A faithful study therefore keeps the authentic wording in view and follows the emphasis established by the prophetic passage itself.

Application

Readers should listen first for the claim the verse actually makes, then consider the response the surrounding passage calls for—such as repentance, faith, endurance, hope, or worship—without claiming more than the text establishes.

Read in this setting, Ezekiel 40:35 speaks through its own wording and context. Its claims, emphasis, and appropriate application all begin with the KJV text printed above.
