Parallels
- Ezekiel 40:16 (verbal): Immediate context in the same vision; continues the description of the outer court and its measurements and mentions the pavement/round-about arrangements.
- Ezekiel 40:21 (structural): Gives the specific arrangement of chambers around the courts (three on each side), elaborating the layout and function of the side rooms referenced in 40:17.
- Ezekiel 41:1-4 (thematic): Continues the temple-plan sequence, describing inner-house measurements and doorways—parallel concern with architectural detail and temple precinct organization.
- 1 Kings 6:5 (structural): Solomon's temple is described as having chambers 'round about' the house—comparable architectural language and the idea of side rooms encircling a sacred building.
- 2 Chronicles 3:5 (verbal): Uses similar phrasing about side-chambers and construction round about the house, echoing the motif of encircling chambers and paved courts in temple architecture.
Alternative generated candidates
- And he brought me to the outer court; and behold, chambers and a pavement made for the court all around—thirty chambers on the pavement.
- And he brought me to the outer court; and behold, chambers and a pavement were made for the court all around—thirty chambers on the pavement.

Parallels
- Ezekiel 40:16 (verbal): Immediate context in the same temple-vision; uses the same language of 'pavement' and 'side of the gates,' showing the parallel layout and repeated measurement vocabulary.
- Ezekiel 40:20 (verbal): Continues the description of pavements and gate-threshold relationships in the same chapter—another instance of the phrasing about the pavement beside the gates.
- Ezekiel 40:26-27 (structural): Describes the chambers, thresholds and the arrangement around the gates; thematically parallels the spatial and architectural ordering indicated by verse 18.
- 1 Kings 6:3-5 (thematic): Solomon's temple description gives architectural dimensions (porch, thresholds, chambers) and functions as an Old Testament parallel for temple construction and measured space.
- 2 Chronicles 3:4-7 (thematic): Chronicles' account of Solomon's temple (porch height, doorways, thresholds) offers a comparable ancient Near Eastern temple architectural description to Ezekiel's measured vision.
Alternative generated candidates
- And the pavement reached to the jambs of the gates opposite the long gate—the lower pavement.
- And the pavement reached to the shoulder of the gates, opposite the length of the gates—the lower pavement.

- Ezekiel 42:1-3 (structural): Description of chambers and pavements around the inner and outer courts for the priests—parallels the functional arrangement and court-related measurements in 40:19.
- 1 Kings 6:2 (structural): Gives the overall dimensions of Solomon's temple building (length/width/height), serving as an earlier Israelite parallel for precise architectural measurements.
- 1 Kings 6:5-8 (thematic): Describes chambers built around the temple and their relation to the court and wall—themewise similar to Ezekiel's measurements and placement of gate chambers and court areas.

- And he measured the width in front of the lower gate, before the inner court, outside—one hundred cubits toward the east and toward the north.
And he brought me to the outer court; and behold, there were chambers and a pavement made for the court all around—thirty chambers on the pavement. And the pavement ran to the side of the gateways, opposite the long sides of the gates; it was the lower pavement.
He measured the breadth in front of the lower gateway toward the inner court, outside—one hundred cubits on the east and one hundred cubits on the north.
