Context of Ezekiel 40:14

12There was a low wall in front of the rooms on each side of the passage. It was ½ metre high. The rooms were 3 metres square. 13The man also measured between the back wall of one room and the back wall of the room opposite. It was 12½ metres from one wall to the other wall, across the passage. The entrance room had pillars on the outside that were 30 metres high. The yard was all around three sides of the room. 15The passage was 25 metres long, from the gate at the front to the entrance room into the yard. 16The rooms for the guards all had small windows in their outside walls. The walls between the rooms also had small windows. The entrance room to the yard also had windows of the same kind. Men had cut pictures of palm trees on the inside walls of the passage.
