Ezekiel 40:6-16

6Then he came to the gate facing east and climbed its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate to be one rod deep.1 7Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide, and there were five cubits2 between the gate chambers. The inner threshold of the gate by the portico facing inward was one rod deep. 8Then he measured the portico of the gateway inside;3 9it was eight cubits deep,4 and its jambs were two cubits thick.5 And the portico of the gateway faced the temple.

10There were three gate chambers on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the gateposts on either side also had the same measurements. 11And he measured the width of the gateway entrance to be ten cubits,6 and its length was thirteen cubits.7

12In front of each gate chamber was a wall one cubit high, and the gate chambers were six cubits square. 13Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits8 from doorway to doorway.

14Next he measured the gateposts to be sixty cubits high.9 The gateway extended around to the gatepost of the courtyard. 15And the distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its inner portico was fifty cubits.10

16The gate chambers and their side pillars11 had beveled windows all around the inside of the gateway. The porticos also had windows all around on the inside. Each side pillar was decorated with palm trees.
