Ezekiel 40:31
29 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.)
Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees. Eight steps led up to it.
32 And he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gateway; it had the same measurements as the others.
33 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.
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.
