Ezechiel 40:16
And slanting windows in the little chambers, and in their fronts, which were within the gate on every side round about: and in like, manner there were also in the porches windows round about within, and before the fronts the representation of palm trees.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et fenestras obliquas in thalamis et in frontibus eorum, quæ erant intra portam undique per circuitum : similiter autem erant et in vestibulis fenestræ per gyrum intrinsecus, et ante frontes pictura palmarum.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ θυρίδες κρυπταὶ ἐπὶ τὸ θεεὶμ καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ αἰλὰμ ἔσωθεν τῆς πύλης τῆς αὐλῆς κυκλόθεν· καὶ ὡσαύτως τοῖς αἰλὰμ θυρίδας κύκλῳ ἔσωθεν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ αἰλὰμ φοίνικες ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν.

Haydock's commentary
Slanting, or "lattice." Septuagint, "dark." See 3 Kings vii. 4. (Haydock)
They were larger within, to afford light, as in Solomon's temple, and in castles. Interpreters disagree in their sentiments: but all allow that God here insinuated that he would reward people in the Old Testament with temporal, and those in the New with spiritual blessings; first with grace in this life, and with glory in the next. (Worthington)
Yet we must not suppose that the saints of old were deprived of eternal goods. (Haydock)
About. The other gates had the like ornaments. (Calmet)
