Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Toward the east - The separate place was measured on its eastern side, for the western was not approachable for the purpose of measurement.

The breadth of the face of the house - That is, the front. See the plan, FRR.

Also the breadth of the face of the house, and the separate place toward the east,.... The whole front of the temple, the holy and most holy place, which looked to the east: and was measured from north to south,
an hundred cubits: which some reckon thus; the breadth of the temple twenty cubits; the thickness of the outward walls, twelve cubits; the side chambers, eight cubits; the walls of these chambers, five cubits on each side: the breadth of the void space, five cubits on each side; and twenty cubits round about the house; so that the length and breadth of this structure was the same, and made a perfect foursquare, as the city of the New Jerusalem is said to be, Revelation 21:16.

The breadth - The whole front of the house eastward.
