Amplified Bible
Ezekiel 40:6-16
6Then he went to the gate which faced the east and went up its [seven] steps and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod in width; and the other threshold [of the gate inside the thick wall] was one rod in width.
7The guardroom was one rod long and one rod wide, and [the space] between the guardrooms was five cubits. And the threshold of the gate by the porch (portico) of the gate facing inward was one rod.
8He also measured the porch of the gate facing inward [toward the temple of the Lord], one rod.
9Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits, and its side pillars, two cubits. The porch of the gate faced inward [toward the temple of the Lord].
10There were three guardrooms on each side of the gate toward the east; the three were the same size, and the side pillars on each side measured the same.
11And he measured the width of the gateway, ten cubits, and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
12On each side a border (barrier wall) one cubit wide stood in front of the guardrooms on each side; and the guardrooms were six cubits square on each side.
13He measured the gate from the roof of one guardroom to the roof of the other, a width of twenty-five cubits from one door to the opposite door.
14He made [the measurement of] the side pillars sixty cubits high; the gate extended all around to the side pillar of the courtyard.
15From the front of the entrance gate [on the outside] to the front of the inner porch (portico) of the gate [the distance] was fifty cubits.
16There were shuttered windows looking toward the guardrooms, and toward their side pillars within the gate all around, and likewise for the porches. And windows were all around inside; and palm tree decorations were on each side pillar.
