Ezekiel 40:14
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.
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.
16 The gate chambers and their side pillars had beveled windows all around the inside of the gateway. The porticos also had windows all around on the inside. Each side pillar was decorated with palm trees.
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.
