Ezekiel 40:48
Breadth of the gate - It is evident that the gate was a bivalve, or had folding doors. The length of the porch was twenty cubits. Josephus says the vestibule was twenty cubits long and ten broad. Antiq. lib. 8:3, 2.
46 The chamber which faces north is for the priests awho have charge of the altar; these are the sons of bZadok, from the sons of Levi, who come near the Lord to minister to Him.”
Dimensions of the Inner Court and Vestibule
47 And he measured the court, one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide, foursquare. The altar was in front of the temple.
48 Then he brought me to the avestibule of the temple and measured the doorposts of the vestibule, five cubits on this side and five cubits on that side; and the width of the gateway was three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side.
49 aThe length of the vestibule was twenty cubits, and the width eleven cubits; and by the steps which led up to it there were bpillars by the doorposts, one on this side and another on that side.
