Context of Ezekiel 40:34

32He brought me into the inner courtyard toward the east, and he measured the gate; it measured the same as the others. 33Its guardrooms also, its side pillars and its porches measured the same as the others. The gate and its porches had windows all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. Its porches faced the outer courtyard; and palm tree decorations were [carved] on either side of its side pillars, and its stairway had eight steps. 35Then he brought me to the north gate and he measured it; the measurements were the same as those of the other gates, 36with its guardrooms, its side pillars, its porches; and the gate had windows all around. The length was fifty cubits and the width was twenty-five cubits.
