Parallels
- Ezek.40.16 (verbal): Same narrative pattern: the inspector leads to a gate (here the east gate) and measures its posts and doors using the same measuring language and formula.
- Ezek.40.28 (verbal): Parallel report of measuring another gate (the north gate); repeats the technical measuring vocabulary and structure found in 40:24.
- Ezek.41.1-4 (structural): Continues the architectural measuring program (the inner house/sanctuary measured with a reed), showing the same concern for precise dimensions and temple layout as in 40:24.
- Ezek.42.1-5 (thematic): Measurement of the priests’ chambers and surrounding courts echoes the temple-survey motif — systematic measuring of gates, rooms, and courts for cultic/functional order.
- 1 Kings 6:2-10 (allusion): Solomon’s temple description (dimensions, doorways, posts, porch) provides an earlier architectural vocabulary and tradition that Ezekiel’s measurements both echo and recast for the envisioned temple.

- And he led me by the way of the south; and behold, a gate in the way of the south—he measured it and its posts according to these measures.
- And he led me by the way of the south; and behold — the gate whose face looked toward the south; and he measured its length and its breadth.

Parallels
- Ezekiel 40:24 (verbal): Immediate parallel in the same vision: also describes windows and galleries 'round about' the chambers, repeating the same architectural feature and phrasing.
- Ezekiel 41:2 (verbal): Continues the temple description with the formula that 'the windows were all around' the inner house, using the same motif of windows encircling the chambers.
- 1 Kings 6:4-5 (thematic): Solomon's temple is described with side chambers built against the walls and windows in tiers; parallels the concept of surrounding chambers and windowed openings in temple architecture.
- 1 Kings 6:2 (structural): Gives precise dimensions for Solomon's temple (length, breadth, height), paralleling Ezekiel's emphasis on exact measurements for temple rooms and features.
Alternative generated candidates
- And it had windows round about, and its posts round about, like these windows: fifty cubits its length, and twenty‑five cubits its breadth.
- And its windows and its jambs and its palm‑beams were like these windows round about; fifty cubits its length, and twenty‑five cubits its breadth.

Parallels
- Ezekiel 40:31 (structural): A parallel gate description in the same vision that repeats the architectural elements (steps, thresholds/posts) and likewise notes palm-tree motifs by the posts — a repeated structural detail.
- Ezekiel 41:18-19 (verbal): Within Ezekiel’s temple sequence the interior measurements and ornamentation explicitly include palm trees and carving on posts/walls, echoing the palm-tree decoration noted at the gate.
- 1 Kings 6:29 (verbal): Solomon’s temple description mentions carved palm trees (and related ornamentation) in the holy place, providing an earlier temple parallel to Ezekiel’s use of palm motifs on gates/posts.
- 2 Chronicles 3:7 (verbal): The Chronicler’s account of Solomon’s temple speaks of palm‑tree carvings and decorative work on walls and pillars, paralleling Ezekiel’s palm-tree decoration on the gateposts.

- And seven steps went up to it, and its pillars stood before them; and there were palm‑trees by it, one at this side and one at that side of its posts.

Parallels
- Ezekiel 40:26 (verbal): A near-verbatim parallel describing the corresponding measurement from gate to gate toward the east—same structural phraseology and measurement (a hundred cubits).
- Ezekiel 41:1 (structural): Continues the temple-measurement sequence; records measurements of interior parts (posts, thresholds), showing the chapter-long concern with precise dimensions of the sanctuary complex.
- 1 Kings 6:2-10 (thematic): Solomon’s temple description with specific dimensions for chambers, courts and gates—themewise parallel in giving precise architectural measurements for a sacred precinct.
- Revelation 21:16-17 (thematic): John’s measuring of the New Jerusalem (city and wall) echoes the biblical motif of measuring sacred space to define and consecrate a holy precinct.
