Ezekiel 40:12-14
New English Translation
12 There was a barrier in front of the alcoves, 1¾ feet[a] on either side; the alcoves were 10½ feet[b] on either side. 13 He measured the gateway from the roof of one alcove to the roof of the other, a width of 43¾ feet[c] from one entrance to the opposite one. 14 He measured[d] the porch[e] at 105 feet[f] high;[g] the gateway went all around to the jamb of the courtyard.
