Ezekiel 40:12-28 English Standard Version (ESV)

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 the vestibule, twenty cubits. And around the vestibule of the gateway was the court.

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 windows all around, narrowing inwards toward the side rooms and toward their jambs, and likewise the vestibule had windows all around inside, and on the jambs were palm trees.

17. Then he brought me into the outer court. And behold, there were chambers and a pavement, all around the court. 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, a hundred cubits on the east side and on the north side.

20. As for the gate that faced toward the north, belonging to the outer court, he measured its length and its breadth.

21. Its side rooms, three on either side, and its jambs and its vestibule were of the same size as those of the first gate. Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits.

22. And its windows, its vestibule, and its palm trees were of the same size as those of the gate that faced toward the east. And by seven steps 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 the inner court. And he measured from gate to gate, a hundred cubits.

24. And he led me toward the south, and behold, there was a gate on the south. And he measured its jambs and its vestibule; they had the same size as the others.

25. Both it and its vestibule had windows all around, like the windows of the others. Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits.

26. And there were seven steps leading up to it, and its vestibule was before them, and it had palm trees on its jambs, one on either side.

27. And there was a gate on the south of the inner court. And he measured from gate to gate toward the south, a hundred cubits.

28. Then he brought me to the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate. It was of the same size as the others.
