Ezekiel 40:16-36

16The gate chambersH8372H413 and their side pillarsH3521 hadH413 beveledH331 windowsH2474 all aroundH5439H3651 the insideH6441 of the gatewayH8179. The porticosH361 also had windowsH2474 all aroundH5439 on the insideH6441H413. Each side pillarH352 was decorated with palm treesH8561.

17Then he brought meH935 intoH413 the outerH2435 courtH2691, and thereH2009 were chambersH3957 and a pavementH7531 laid outH6213 all aroundH5439 the courtH2691. ThirtyH7970 chambersH3957 facedH413 the pavementH7531, 18which flankedH3802 the gatewaysH8179 and corresponded toH5980 the lengthH753 of the gatesH8179H7531; this was the lowerH8481 pavementH7531.

19Then he measuredH4058 the distanceH7341 from the frontH6440 of the lowerH8481 gatewayH8179 to the outsideH2351 of the innerH6442 courtH2691; it was a hundredH3967 cubitsH5202 on the east sideH6921 as well as on the northH6828.

20He also measuredH4058 the lengthH753 and widthH7341 of the gatewayH8179 of the outerH2435 courtH2691 facingH6440H1870 northH6828. 21Its threeH7969 gate chambersH8372 on each sideH6311H7969, its side pillarsH352, and its porticoH361 all hadH1961 the same measurementsH4060 as the firstH7223 gateH8179: fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 longH753 and twenty-fiveH2568H6242 cubitsH520 wideH7341. 22Its windowsH2474, porticoH361, and palm treesH8561 had the same measurementsH4060 as those of the gateH8179 facingH6440H1870 eastH6921. SevenH7651 stepsH4609 led upH5927 to it, with its porticoH361 opposite themH6440.

23There was a gateH8179 to the innerH6442 courtH2691 facingH5048 the northH6828 gateH8179, just as there was on the eastH6921. He measured the distanceH4058 from gatewayH8179 toH413 gatewayH8179 to be a hundredH3967 cubitsH520.

24Then he led meH1980 toH1870 the south sideH1864, and I sawH2009 a gatewayH8179 facingH1870 southH1864. He measuredH4058 its side pillarsH352 and porticoH361, and they had the same measurementsH4060 as the othersH428. 25Both the gateway and its porticoH361 had windowsH2474 all aroundH5439, like the otherH428 windowsH2474. It was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 longH753 and twenty-fiveH2568H6242 cubitsH520 wideH7341. 26SevenH7651 stepsH4609 led up to itH5930, and its porticoH361 was opposite themH6440; it had palm treesH8561 onH413 its side pillarsH352, oneH259 on each sideH6311H259.

27The innerH6442 courtH2691 also had a gateH8179 facingH1870 southH1864, and he measuredH4058 the distance from gatewayH8179 toH413 gatewayH8179 towardH1870 the southH1864 to be a hundredH3967 cubitsH520.

28Next he brought meH935 intoH413 the innerH6442 courtH2691 through the southH1864 gateH8179, and he measuredH4058 the southH1864 gateH8179; it had the same measurementsH4060 as the othersH428. 29Its gate chambersH8372, side pillarsH352, and porticoH361 had the same measurementsH4060 as the othersH428. Both the gateway and its porticoH361 had windowsH2474 all aroundH5439; it was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 longH753 and twenty-fiveH6242H2568 cubitsH520 wideH7341. 30(The porticoesH361 aroundH5439 the inner court were twenty-fiveH6242H2568 cubitsH520 longH753 and fiveH2568 cubitsH520 deepH7341.3) 31Its porticoH361 facedH413 the outerH2435 courtH2691, and its side pillarsH352 were decorated with palm treesH8561H413. EightH8083 stepsH4609 led up to itH4608.

32And he brought meH935 toH413 the innerH6442 courtH2691 onH1870 the east sideH6921, and he measuredH4058 the gatewayH8179; it had the same measurementsH4060 as the othersH428. 33Its gate chambersH8372, side pillarsH352, and porticoH361 had the same measurementsH4060 as the othersH428. Both the gateway and its porticoH361 had windowsH2474 all aroundH5439. It was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 longH753 and twenty-fiveH6242H2568 cubitsH520 wideH7341. 34Its porticoH361 faced the outerH2435 courtH2691, and its side pillarsH413 were decorated with palm treesH8561H413 on each sideH6311. EightH8083 stepsH4609 led up to itH4608.

35Then he brought meH935 toH413 the northH6828 gateH8179 and measuredH4058 it. It had the same measurementsH4060 as the othersH428, 36as did its gate chambersH8372, side pillarsH413, and porticoH361. It also had windowsH2474 all aroundH5439. It was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 longH753 and twenty-fiveH6242H2568 cubitsH520 wideH7341.
