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]
