Context of Ezekiel 41:13

11There were two doors for the side rooms. One door opened towards the north. The other door opened towards the south. They opened into a space that was 2½ metres wide. 12There was a large building at the west side of the temple yard. It was 37 metres wide and 47 metres long. Its walls were 2½ metres thick. Then the man measured the outside of the temple building. It was 50 metres long. He measured from the back of the temple across the open space to the back wall of the large building. That was also 50 metres. 14He measured the front of the temple building and the open space on each side. That was 50 metres too. 15He measured the building at the back of the temple yard, on the west side. That was also 50 metres, including the side rooms at each end. Wooden boards covered the walls of the big hall, the inside room and the entrance room of the temple.
