Ezekiel 40:5-16

Chapter 40
5 And behold, a wall outside the house all around, and in the hand of the man a measuring reed of six cubits by the cubit and a handbreadth. And he measured the width of the building, one reed, and the height one reed. 6 And he came to the gate whose face was the way of the east, and he went up its steps, and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed wide, and the other threshold, one reed wide. 7 And the cell—a reed in length and a reed in width, and between the cells five cubits, and the threshold of the gate from beside the porch of the gate from the House of God—a reed. 8 And he measured the wall of the gate from the house, one reed. 9 And he measured the porch of the gate eight cubits, and its jamb two cubits, and the porch of the gate from the house. 10 And the recesses of the gate by way of the east: three recesses and three recesses, one measurement for the three of them and one measurement for the recesses and their recesses. 11 He measured the width of the entrance of the gate: ten cubits; and the length of the gate: thirteen cubits. 12 The boundary before the cells was one cubit, and the boundary here was one cubit, and the cell was six cubits on its side and six cubits on its side. 13 He measured the gate from the roof of the guardroom to its roof: a width of twenty-five cubits, entrance opposite entrance. 14 He made sixty-cubit rams, and the gate of the Tabernacle courtyard ram around all around. 15 And on the face of the gate, the extension on the face of the inner gate was fifty cubits. 16 And latticed windows to the cells and to the rams to the inside to the gate all around all around. And in this way to the LORD and windows all around all around to the inside and to the rams palms.
