Ezekiel 40:16-18
Wycliffe Bible
16 And he meted windows narrow without and large within, in the (little) chambers, and posts of those, that were within the gate on each side by compass. Soothly in like manner also windows were in the porches[a] by compass within; and the painture of palm trees was graven before the posts. (And he measured the windows that were narrow outside and large within, in the little chambers, and their posts, that were within the gate on each side all around. And in like manner windows were also in the porch all around within; and images of palm trees were carved on the posts.)
17 And he led me out to the outermore foreyard, and lo! treasuries[b], and (a) pavement arrayed with stone in the foreyard by compass; thirty treasuries (were) in the compass of the pavement; (And he led me out to the outer courtyard, and lo! chambers, or rooms, and a pavement arrayed with stone all around the courtyard; and there were thirty rooms all around the pavement;)
18 and the pavement was beneath in the front of the gates, by the length of the gates. (and the lower pavement was by the side of the gateways, by the length of the gateways.)
