Ezekiel 40:6-16

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.

13Then he measured the gate from the roof of one recess to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was 43¾ feet. The openings of the recesses faced each other.

14Next, he measured the porch — 105 feet.

15The distance from the front of the gate at the entrance to the front of the gate’s portico on the inside was 87½ feet.

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.
