What Does Ezekiel 41:13 Mean in the King James?
So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;

King James Version The King James Version, first published in 1611. Selah Verse shows the standard text.
THE KEY
The space called “separate” is still measured to the house’s full hundred-cubit length, so distinction sits inside the design rather than beyond it.
THE MEANING
You stand before a whole in which distinction has shape: the house and its set-apart space share a hundred-cubit length. The building and its walls belong to that measured span. What is marked off remains within the architecture.
WHAT THIS UNDOES
It undoes the belief that what is separate has been excluded: the verse gives the separate place the same measured length as the house.
THE ROOT
גִּזְרָה
gizrah
GROWS FROM
גזר
g-z-r
To cut or divide, making something distinct.
The “separate place” is a space made distinct by a boundary. Yet it is measured to the same hundred-cubit length as the house: distinction appears within a shared design.
ALSO GROWS
gazar: To cut or divide.
גָּזַר
This is the root’s basic action; the separate place is a portion distinguished from what surrounds it.
gezerah: A decree or determined decision.
גְּזֵרָה
The word carries the sense of something marked out or determined, echoing how the measured space has a defined place in the structure.
THE PATTERN
In visions of sacred space, measurement makes boundaries and belonging visible.
And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.THE THREAD
To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever:“Separate place” is gizrah, from גזר (g-z-r), “to cut or divide.” Psalm 136:13 uses the same root for dividing the Red sea; here that dividing gives a space its boundary and measured place within the house.
