As the text reads it is easiest to attach the last words of Ezekiel 42:11 to Ezekiel 42:12. The sense resulting from this change is not very natural. Possibly Ezekiel 42:11 should end as A.V., in which case Ezekiel 42:12 must be amended: and the doors of the chambers were toward the south. In this point they differed from the other chambers, the doors of which were towards the north (Ezekiel 42:4).

The term rendered "corresponding" is quite unknown. In the Targ. and post-biblical Heb. a similar word appears to mean suitable, excellent the appropriate wall. The word is no doubt corrupt. LXX. "reed."
