Ezekiel 40:6-23

English Standard Version

⁶ Then he went into ^(A)the gateway facing east, ^(B)going up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one reed deep.^{[a] 7} And ^(C)the side rooms, one reed long and one reed broad; and the space between the side rooms, five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the vestibule of the gate at the inner end, one reed. ⁸ Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, on the inside, one reed. ⁹ Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, eight cubits; ^(D)and its jambs, two cubits; and the vestibule of the gate was at the inner end. ¹⁰ And there were three side rooms on either side of the east gate. ^(E)The three were of the same size, and the jambs on either side were of the same size. ¹¹ Then he measured the width of the opening of the gateway, ten cubits; and the length of the gateway, thirteen cubits. ¹² There was a barrier before the side rooms, one cubit on either side. And the side rooms were six cubits on either side. ¹³ Then he measured the gate from the ceiling of the one side room to the ceiling of the other, a breadth of twenty-five cubits; the openings faced each other. ¹⁴ He measured also ^(F)the vestibule, sixty cubits. And around the vestibule of the gateway was the court.^{[b] 15} From the front of the gate at the entrance to the front of the inner vestibule of the gate was fifty cubits. ¹⁶ And the gateway had ^(G)windows all around, narrowing inwards toward the side rooms and toward their ^(H)jambs, and likewise the vestibule had windows all around inside, and on the jambs were ^(I)palm trees.

The Outer Court

¹⁷ Then he brought me into ^(J)the outer court. And behold, there were ^(K)chambers and a ^(L)pavement, all around the court. ^(M)Thirty chambers faced the pavement. ¹⁸ And the pavement ran along the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates. This was the lower pavement. ¹⁹ Then he measured the distance from the inner front of the lower gate to the outer front of the inner court,^[c] a hundred cubits on the east side and on the north side.^[d]

The North Gate

²⁰ As for ^(N)the gate that faced toward the north, belonging to ^(O)the outer court, he measured its length and its breadth. ²¹ Its ^(P)side rooms, three on either side, and its jambs and its vestibule were of the same size as those of ^(Q)the first gate. Its length was ^(R)fifty cubits, and its breadth ^(S)twenty-five cubits. ²² And ^(T)its windows, its vestibule, and ^(U)its palm trees were of the same size as those of the gate that faced toward the east. And by seven steps ^(V)people would go up to it, and find its vestibule before them. ²³ And opposite the gate on the north, as on the east, was a gate to ^(W)the inner court. And ^(X)he measured from gate to gate, a hundred cubits.
