Ezekiel 40:14-16
Evangelical Heritage Version

14 He determined that the measurement of the gateposts was sixty cubits,[a] and the courtyard all around the gateway reached to the gateposts.[b] 15 From the front of the outer entrance of the gateway to the outside edge of the vestibule on the inner side of the gateway was fifty cubits.[c] 16 The guardrooms and their doorposts had openings on all sides. The openings were slits that were narrower toward the inside of the gate, and likewise, the vestibule had openings that narrowed toward the inside all the way around.[d] The doorposts had decorations like palm trees.

Footnotes

  1. Ezekiel 40:14 More than 100 feet
  2. Ezekiel 40:14 The meaning of this verse is uncertain, and translations vary widely. Some believe the measurement is the height of the gatehouse, but the measurement seems too large for that. Some translations therefore change the number from sixty to twenty cubits. Others believe the measurement is the perimeter of the gatehouse, but the measurement seems too small for that. In light of the uncertainty, the EHV retains a fairly literal translation, which does not alter the text.
  3. Ezekiel 40:15 About 90 feet
  4. Ezekiel 40:16 These were slots through which the defenders could shoot. They also let light into the gatehouse.
