Context of Ezekiel 40:30

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. (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. 32Then he took me to the east gateway leading to the inner courtyard. He measured it, and it had the same measurements as the other gateways.
