Ezekiel 40:20-23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
20 Then he measured the gate of the outer court that faced north—its depth and width. 21 Its recesses, three on either side, and its posts and its vestibule were of the same size as those of the first gate; its depth was fifty cubits and its width twenty-five cubits.(A) 22 Its windows, its vestibule, and its palm trees were of the same size as those of the gate that faced toward the east. Seven steps led up to it, and its vestibule was on the inside.[a](B) 23 Opposite the gate on the north, as on the east, was a gate to the inner court; he measured from gate to gate, one hundred cubits.(C)

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]
