Ezekiel 40:28-42 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

28. And he brought me to the inner courtyard through the gate of the south, and he measured the south gate, and it had measurements like the others.

29. And its alcoves and its pilasters and its porticos were just like these measurements. And it had windows for it and for its porticos all the way around, fifty cubits along its length, and twenty-five cubits wide.

30. And there were porticos all the way around its length, twenty-five cubits; and its width was five cubits.

31. And its porticos were to the outer courtyard, and palm tree images were on its pilasters, and eight steps were for its stairs.

32. And he brought me to the inner courtyard by way of the east gate, and he measured the gate as just like the other measurements.

33. And its alcoves and its pilasters and its porticos were also like these measurements, and windows were for it and for its porticos all around; its length was fifty cubits, and it was twenty-five cubits wide.

34. And its porticos were toward the outer courtyard, and palm tree images were on its pilasters one each side, and eight steps served as it stairs.

35. And he brought me to the gate of the north, and he measured it; and he measured the same measurements as these others,

36. its alcoves, its pilasters and porticos, and its windows all the way around, and a length of fifty cubits and twenty-five cubits wide.

37. And its pilasters faced the outer courtyard, and it had palm tree images on its pilasters on each side; and eight steps served as its stairs.

38. And a chamber with its doorway was in the pilasters at the gates, and there they rinsed off the burnt offering.

39. And in the portico of the gate were two tables on each side to slaughter the burnt offering on them and the sin offering and the guilt offering.

40. And on the outer side as one goes up to the doorway of the gate to the north were two tables, and on the other side, which is toward the portico of the gate, were two tables.

41. On each side of the gate were four tables, eight tables in all, and on them they slaughtered sacrifices.

42. And four tables were for the burnt offering, and made of dressed stones, one cubit and a half long and one cubit and a half wide and one cubit high was their measurements, and they placed the objects with which they slaughtered the burnt offering on them and the sacrifice.
