Context of Ezekiel 40:25

23Opposite the gate on the north and the east was a gate of the inner court; he measured the distance from gate to gate at 175 feet. 24Then he led me toward the south. I saw a gate on the south. He measured its jambs and its porches; they had the same dimensions as the others. There were windows all around it and its porches, like the windows of the others; 87½ feet long and 43¾ feet wide. 26There were seven steps going up to it; its porches were in front of them. It had decorative palm trees on its jambs, one on either side. 27The inner court had a gate toward the south; he measured it from gate to gate toward the south as 175 feet.
