Context of Ezekiel 40:14
12In front of each of the guard alcoves was a 21-inch curb. The alcoves themselves were 10-1/2 feet on each side. 13Then he measured the entire width of the gateway, measuring the distance between the back walls of facing guard alcoves; this distance was 43-3/4 feet. He measured the dividing walls all along the inside of the gateway up to the entry room of the gateway; this distance was 105 feet. 15The full length of the gateway passage was 87-1/2 feet from one end to the other. 16There were recessed windows that narrowed inward through the walls of the guard alcoves and their dividing walls. There were also windows in the entry room. The surfaces of the dividing walls were decorated with carved palm trees.
