Ezechiel 41:9

And the thickness of the wall for the side chamber without, which was five cubits: and the inner house was within the side chambers of the house.

Challoner: And the inner house was within the side chambers of the houseBecause these side chambers were in the very walls of the temple all round. Or, it may also be rendered (more agreeably to the Hebrew) so as to signify that the thickness of the wall for the side chamber within, was the same as that of the wall without; that is, equally five cubits.

Haydock's commentary

House. Because these side-chambers were in the very walls of the temple all around: or it may also be rendered, (more agreeably to the Hebrew) so as to signify, that the thickness of the wall for the side-chambers within was the same as that of the wall without; that is, equally five cubits. (Challoner)

Protestants, "and that which was left, was the place of the side-chambers that were within." (Haydock)

To manifest a greater respect for God, the apartments of the priests were twenty-five cubits distant from the temple, (ver. 10.) and divided by a wall, which Josephus describes as three cubits high. (Antiquities viii. 2.) This wall was at the distance of five cubits from the temple. (Calmet)
