Context of Ezekiel 40:14
12A barrier wall was in front of the guard chambers, one cubit on each side. Each chamber was six cubits on each side. 13When he measured the gate from the roof of the one chamber to the roof of the other, the width was 25 cubits, door facing door. Then he did the pillars—60 cubits. A gateway extended all around to the pillar of the courtyard. 15Now from the front of the gate of the entrance to the front of the inner porch of the gate measured 50 cubits. 16There were shuttered windows toward the chambers and toward their pillars within the surrounding gate, and likewise the porches had windows all around inside. On each pillar were palm trees.
