Ezekiel 40:24-31

24Then the man took me around to the south gateway and measured its various parts, and they were exactly the same as in the others.

25It had windows along the walls as the others did, and there was an entry room where the gateway passage opened into the outer courtyard. And like the others, the gateway passage was 87-1/2 feet long and 43-3/4 feet wide between the back walls of facing guard alcoves.

26This gateway also had a stairway of seven steps leading up to it, and an entry room at the inner end, and palm tree decorations along the dividing walls.

27And here again, directly opposite the outer gateway, was another gateway that led into the inner courtyard. The distance between the two gateways was 175 feet.

28Then the man took me to the south gateway leading into the inner courtyard. He measured it, and it had the same measurements as the other gateways.

29Its guard alcoves, dividing walls, and entry room were the same size as those in the others. It also had windows along its walls and in the entry room. And like the others, the gateway passage was 87-1/2 feet long and 43-3/4 feet wide.

30(The entry rooms of the gateways leading into the inner courtyard were 14 feet across and 43-3/4 feet wide.)

31The entry room to the south gateway faced into the outer courtyard. It had palm tree decorations on its columns, and there were eight steps leading to its entrance.
