Ezekiel 40:20-23
New Living Translation
The North Gateway
20 The man measured the gateway on the north just like the one on the east. 21 Here, too, there were three guard alcoves on each side, with dividing walls and an entry room. All the measurements matched those of the east gateway. The gateway passage was 87 1⁄2 feet long and 43 3⁄4 feet wide between the back walls of facing guard alcoves. 22 The windows, the entry room, and the palm tree decorations were identical to those in the east gateway. There were seven steps leading up to the gateway entrance, and the entry room was at the inner end of the gateway passage. 23 Here on the north side, just as on the east, there was another gateway leading to the Temple’s inner courtyard directly opposite this outer gateway. The distance between the two gateways was 175 feet.

Measurement of the North Gate
20 And as for the gate that had its face toward the north[a] of the outer courtyard, he measured its length and its width. 21 And its alcoves were three on each side,[b] and its pilasters and its porticos had the same measurement[c] as the first gate: its length was fifty cubits,[d] and its width was twenty-five cubits.[e] 22 And its windows and its porticos and its palm tree images were like the measurement of the gate that was facing toward the east;[f] and it had[g] seven steps that go up it, and there were porticos before them.[h] 23 And a gate led to the inner courtyard, opposite the gate to the north and to the east, and he measured from gate to gate as a hundred cubits.[i]
