Ezekiel 40:8-21 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. And the threshold of the gate, next to the inner vestibule of the gate, was one reed.

9. And he measured the vestibule of the gate as eight cubits, and its front as two cubits. But the vestibule of the gate was inside.

10. Moreover, the chambers of the gate, toward the way of the east, were three from one side to the other. The three were of one measure, and the fronts were of one measure, on both sides.

11. And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as ten cubits, and the length of the gate as thirteen cubits.

12. And before the chambers, the border was one cubit. And on both sides, the border was one cubit. But the chambers were six cubits, from one side to the other.

13. And he measured the gate, from the roof of one chamber to the roof of another, twenty-five cubits in width, from door to door.

14. And he found the fronts to be sixty cubits. And at the front, there was a court for the gate on every side all around.

15. And before the face of the gate, which extended even to the face of the vestibule of the gate of the interior, there were fifty cubits.

16. And there were slanting windows in the chambers and at their fronts, which were within the gate on every side all around. And similarly, there were also windows in the vestibules all around the interior, and there were images of palm trees before the fronts.

17. And he led me away to the outer court, and behold, there were storerooms and a layer of pavement stones throughout the court. Thirty storerooms encircled the pavement.

18. And the pavement in front of the gates, along the length of the gates, was lower.

19. And he measured the width, from the face of the lower gate to the front of the outer part of the inner court, to be one hundred cubits, to the east and to the north.

20. Likewise, he measured the gate of the outer court, which looked to the way of the north, to be as much in length as in width.

21. And its chambers were three from one side to the other. And its front and its vestibule, in accord with the measure of the former gate, were fifty cubits in its length and twenty-five cubits in width.
