Context of Ezekiel 40:22
20And the gate of the outer court whose prospect is toward the north, he measured the length thereof and the breadth thereof. 21And the lodges thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
