Ezekiel 40:16-36

16The recesses and their jambs had beveled windows all around the inside of the gate. The porticoes also had windows all around on the inside. Each jamb was decorated with palm trees.

17Then he brought me into the outer court, and there were chambers and a paved surface laid out all around the court. Thirty chambers faced the pavement,

18which flanked the courtyard’s gates and corresponded to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.

19Then he measured the distance from the front of the lower gate to the exterior front of the inner court; it was 175 feet. This was the east; next the north is described.

20He measured the gate of the outer court facing north, both its length and width.

21Its three recesses on each side, its jambs, and its portico had the same measurements as the first gate: 87½ feet long and 43¾ feet wide.

22Its windows, portico, and palm trees had the same measurements as those of the gate that faced east. Seven steps led up to the gate, and its portico was ahead of them.

23The inner court had a gate facing the north gate, like the one on the east. He measured the distance from gate to gate; it was 175 feet.

24He brought me to the south side, and there was also a gate on the south. He measured its jambs and portico; they had the same measurements as the others.

25Both the gate and its portico had windows all around, like the other windows. It was 87½ feet long and 43¾ feet wide.

26Its stairway had seven steps, and its portico was ahead of them. It had palm trees on its jambs, one on each side.

27The inner court had a gate on the south. He measured from gate to gate on the south; it was 175 feet.

28Then he brought me to the inner court through the south gate. When he measured the south gate, it had the same measurements as the others.

29Its recesses, jambs, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both it and its portico had windows all around. It was 87½ feet long and 43¾ feet wide.

30(There were porticoes all around, 43¾ feet long and 8¾ feet wide.)

31Its portico faced the outer court, and its jambs were decorated with palm trees. Its stairway had eight steps.

32Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side. When he measured the gate, it had the same measurements as the others.

33Its recesses, jambs, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both it and its portico had windows all around. It was 87½ feet long and 43¾ feet wide.

34Its portico faced the outer court, and its jambs were decorated with palm trees on each side. Its stairway had eight steps.

35Then he brought me to the north gate. When he measured it, it had the same measurements as the others,

36as did its recesses, jambs, and portico. It also had windows all around. It was 87½ feet long and 43¾ feet wide.
