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.

The North Gate
20 As for the (A)gate of the outer court which faced the north, he measured its length and its width. 21 [a]It had three (B)guardrooms on each side; and its (C)side pillars and its porches [b]had the same measurement as the first gate. Its length was [c](D)fifty cubits and the width (E)twenty-five cubits. 22 Its (F)windows and its porches and its palm tree ornaments had the same measurements as the (G)gate which faced toward the east; and [d]it was reached by seven (H)steps, and its [e]porch was in front of them. 23 The inner court had a gate opposite the gate on the north as well as the gate on the east; and he measured one (I)hundred cubits from gate to gate.
