Ezekiel 40:6-16

6Then he went to the gate that faced east and went up its steps. When he measured the threshold of the gate, it was one rod wide. Also the other threshold was one rod wide.

7Each guard chamber was one rod long and one rod wide. The space between the chambers was five cubits. The threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate, facing the House, measured one rod.

8When he measured the porch of the gate toward the House, it was one rod.

9When he measured the porch of the gate, it was eight cubits; its pillars were two cubits. The porch of the gate faced the House.

10Now the guard chambers of the east gate were three on this side, and three on the other side—the three had the same measurement. The side pillars had the same measure on this side and on that side.

11When he measured the width of the entrance of the gate, it was ten cubits, and the length of the gate was 13 cubits.

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.

14Then 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.
