Ezekiel 40:11
9 it was eight cubits deep, and its jambs were two cubits thick. And the portico of the gateway faced the temple.
10 There were three gate chambers on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the gateposts on either side also had the same measurements.
And he measured the width of the gateway entrance to be ten cubits, and its length was thirteen cubits.
12 In front of each gate chamber was a wall one cubit high, and the gate chambers were six cubits square.
13 Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits from doorway to doorway.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
