Ezekiel 40:5-16 - The Eastern Gate

⁵ I saw a wall all around the outside of the temple. In the man's hand was a measuring stick 10? feet long. He measured the thickness of the wall as 10? feet, and its height as 10? feet. ⁶ Then he went to the gate facing east. He climbed its steps and measured the threshold of the gate as 10? feet deep. ⁷ The alcoves were 10? feet long and 10? feet wide; between the alcoves were 8? feet. The threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate facing inward was 10? feet. ⁸ Then he measured the porch of the gate facing inward as 10? feet. ⁹ He measured the porch of the gate as 14 feet, and its jambs as 3? feet; the porch of the gate faced inward.

¹⁰ There were three alcoves on each side of the east gate; the three had the same measurement, and the jambs on either side had the same measurement. ¹¹ He measured the width of the entrance of the gateway as 17? feet, and the length of the gateway as 22? feet. ¹² There was a barrier in front of the alcoves, 1? feet on either side; the alcoves were 10? feet on either side. ¹³ He measured the gateway from the roof of one alcove to the roof of the other, a width of 43? feet from one entrance to the opposite one. ¹⁴ He measured the porch at 105 feet high; the gateway went all around to the jamb of the courtyard. ¹⁵ From the front of the entrance gate to the porch of the inner gate was 87? feet. ¹⁶ There were closed windows toward the alcoves and toward their jambs within the gate all around, and likewise for the porches. There were windows all around the inside, and on each jamb were decorative palm trees.
