5 Now there was aa wall all around the outside of the1 temple. In the man’s hand was a measuring rod six2 cubits long, each being a cubit and a handbreadth; and he measured the width of the wall structure, one rod; and the height, one rod.  

The Eastern Gateway of the Temple

6 Then he went to the gateway which faced aeast; and he went up its stairs and measured the threshold of the gateway, which was one rod wide, and the other threshold was one rod wide.  
7 Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide; between the gate chambers was a space of five cubits; and the threshold of the gateway by the vestibule of the inside gate was one rod.
8 He also measured the vestibule of the inside gate, one rod.
9 Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, eight cubits; and the gateposts, two cubits. The vestibule of the gate was on the inside.
10 In the eastern gateway were three gate chambers on one side and three on the other; the three were all the same size; also the gateposts were of the same size on this side and that side.
11 He measured the width of the entrance to the gateway, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
12 There was a1 space in front of the gate chambers, one cubit on this side and one cubit on that side; the gate chambers were six cubits on this side and six cubits on that side.  
13 Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the other; the width was twenty-five cubits, as door faces door.
14 He measured the gateposts, sixty cubits high, and the court all around the gateway extended to the gatepost.
15 From the front of the entrance gate to the front of the vestibule of the inner gate was fifty cubits.

Ezekiel 40:7

Chamber - Along the wall of the porch were chambers, three on one side, and three on the other, each one reed square. Five cubits - A space of two yards and one half between each chamber, either filled with some neat posts or pillars, or it may be quite void. Within - The inward and outward threshold, were of the same measures, and curiously arched over head from side to side, and end to end, which was from east to west.
