Ezekiel 40:13
11 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.
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.
14 Next he measured the gateposts to be sixty cubits high. The gateway extended around to the gatepost of the courtyard.
15 And the distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its inner portico was fifty cubits.
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.
