Ezekiel 40:9
7 Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide, and there were five cubits between the gate chambers. The inner threshold of the gate by the portico facing inward was one rod deep.
8 Then he measured the portico of the gateway inside;
it was eight cubits deep, and its jambs were two cubits thick. And the portico of the gateway faced the temple.
10 There were three gate chambers on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the gateposts on either side also had the same measurements.
11 And he measured the width of the gateway entrance to be ten cubits, and its length was thirteen 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.
