Ezekiel 40:37

35 Then he brought me to the north gate and measured it. It had the same measurements as the others,

36 as did its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico. It also had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.

38 There was a chamber with a doorway by the portico in each of the inner gateways. There the burnt offering was to be washed.

39 Inside the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings were to be slaughtered.

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.
