Ezekiel 40:29
27 The inner court also had a gate facing south, and he measured the distance from gateway to gateway toward the south to be a hundred cubits.
28 Next he brought me into the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate; it had the same measurements as the others.
Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
30 (The porticoes around the inner court were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)
31 Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees. Eight steps led up to it.
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.
