Ezekiel 40:5-16
The East Gate
5And behold, there was a awall on the outside of the house of Yahweh all around, and in the man’s hand was a measuring rod of six cubits, each of which was a 1cubit and a 2handbreadth. So he measured the thickness of the 3wall, one rod; and the height, one rod. 6Then he went to the gate which faced aeast, went up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod 1in width; and the other threshold was one rod 2in width. 7The aguardroom was one rod long and one rod wide; and there were five cubits between the guardrooms. And the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate 1facing inward was one rod. 8Then he measured the porch of the gate 1facing inward, one rod. 9He measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its side pillars, two cubits. And the porch of the gate was 1faced inward. 10The guardrooms of the gate toward the east numbered three on each side; the three of them had the same measurement. The side pillars also had the same measurement on each side. 11And he measured the width of the entrance of the gate, ten cubits, and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits. 12There was a 1barrier wall one cubit wide in front of the guardrooms on each side; and the guardrooms were six cubits square on each side. 13He measured the gate from the roof of the one guardroom to the roof of the other, a width of twenty-five cubits from one door to the door opposite. 14He made the side pillars sixty cubits high; the gate extended round about to the side pillar of the acourtyard. 15From the front of the entrance gate to the front of the inner porch of the gate was fifty cubits. 16There were 1,ashuttered windows looking toward the guardrooms and toward their side pillars within the gate all around, and likewise for the porches. And there were windows all around inside; and on each side pillar were bpalm tree ornaments.
