Ezekiel 40:13-19 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

13. Then he measured the gateway from the back wall of one room to the back wall of the room across from it. It was almost 44 feet from the top of one wall to the top of the other.

14. He measured along the front of the side walls that were all around the inside of the gateway. The total was 105 feet. That didn't include the porch that faced the courtyard.

15. It was 87 and a half feet from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its porch.

16. The rooms and their side walls inside the gateway had narrow openings on top of them. So did the porch. All of the openings faced the inside. The front of each side wall was decorated with a palm tree.

17. Then the man brought me into the outer courtyard. There I saw some rooms and a sidewalk. They had been built all around the courtyard. Along the sidewalk were 30 rooms.

18. The sidewalk went all the way up to the sides of the gateways. It was as wide as they were long. That was the lower sidewalk.

19. Then he measured from the inside of the lower gateway to the outside of the inner courtyard. The east side measured 175 feet. So did the north side.
