Ezekiel 40:24-27
Lexham English Bible
The Gate to the South
24 And then he took me toward the south,[a] and look, a gate toward the south,[b] and he measured its pilasters and its porticos; they had measurements just like the others.[c] 25 And there were for it windows and for its porticos all the way around it[d] like these windows; fifty cubits[e] long and twenty-five cubits[f] wide. 26 And seven steps were going up to it and its porticos before them.[g] And it had palm tree images[h] all along[i] its pilasters. 27 And there was to the way of the south[j] a gate for the inner courtyard, and he measured from gate to the gate on the way of the south, a hundred cubits.[k]

The South Gateway
24 Then the man took me around to the south gateway and measured its various parts, and they were exactly the same as in the others. 25 It had windows along the walls as the others did, and there was an entry room where the gateway passage opened into the outer courtyard. And like the others, the gateway passage was 87 1⁄2 feet long and 43 3⁄4 feet wide between the back walls of facing guard alcoves. 26 This gateway also had a stairway of seven steps leading up to it, and an entry room at the inner end, and palm tree decorations along the dividing walls. 27 And here again, directly opposite the outer gateway, was another gateway that led into the inner courtyard. The distance between the two gateways was 175 feet.
