Ezekiel 40:7-13
Ezek 42:5; 1Kgs 6:5-10; 1Chr 9:26, 1Chr 23:28; 2Chr 3:9, 2Chr 31:11; Ezra 8:29; Jer 35:4 the posts Ezek 45:19 the little Ezek 40:7 they three The entrance into the outer court seems to have been through a porch with doors at both ends; and on each side of this porch were three small chambers, or rooms, for the use of the porters, a reed square in size, with a passage of five cubits between them. The common cubit, termed the "cubit of a man," (Deut 3:11), was about 18 inches; but the cubit used by the angel was, as we learn from Ezek 43:13, "a cubit and a hand breadth," or about three inches more than the common cubit, that is 21 inches. Hence the measuring reed, which was "six cubits long, by the cubit and the hand breadth," (Ezek 40:5), must have been about 10+ feet space Heb. limit, or bound, Ezek 40:12 the gate The whole arch of the east gate, measured from the southern extremity of one room to the northern extremity of the opposite room, was 25 cubits; including the dimensions of the two rooms, or twelve cubits (Ezek 40:7); the spaces before the rooms, or two cubits (Ezek 40:12); and the breadth of the entrance, ten cubits (Ezek 40:11); making all 24 cubits, leaving one cubit for the thickness of the walls. Ezek 40:13
