Ezekiel 40:5-12

5Now there was a wall surrounding the outside of the temple. The measuring rod in the man’s hand was six units of twenty-one inches; each unit was the standard length plus three inches. He measured the thickness of the wall structure; it was 10½ feet, and its height was the same.

6Then he came to the gate that faced east and climbed its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate; it was 10½ feet deep — one threshold was 10½ feet deep.

7Each recess was 10½ feet long and 10½ feet deep, and there was a space of 8¾ feet between the recesses. The inner threshold of the gate on the temple side next to the gate’s portico was 10½ feet.

8Next he measured the gate’s portico;

9it was 14 feet, and its jambs were 3½ feet. The gate’s portico was on the temple side.

10There were three recesses on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the jambs on either side also had the same measurements.

11Then he measured the width of the gate’s entrance; it was 17½ feet, while the width of the gate was 22¾ feet.

12There was a barrier of 21 inches in front of the recesses on both sides, and the recesses on each side were 10½ feet square.
