Context of Ezekiel 40:49

47The man measured the courtyard. It was a perfect square—175 feet long and 175 feet wide. And the altar was in front of the temple. 48Then the man brought me to the entrance hall of the temple and measured its recessed walls. They were 9 feet on each side. The gateway was 24½ feet wide, and the walls on each side were 5 feet wide. The entrance hall was 35 feet long and 21 feet wide. Steps led up to it. Pillars stood by the recessed walls, one on each side of the entrance hall.
