Ezekiel 40:9-18 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

9. It was about 14 feet deep. And its doors were 3½ feet thick. The porch of the gate faced the Temple.

10. There were three little rooms on each side of the last gate. These three rooms measured the same on each side. The walls between each room were the same thickness.

11. The man measured the width of the entrance to the gateway. It was 17½ feet wide. The length of the gate was about 23 feet.

12. And there was a low wall about 21 inches high in front of each room. The rooms were 10½ feet on each side.

13. The man measured the gateway from the roof of one room to the roof of the opposite room. It was about 44 feet from one door to the opposite door.

14. The man also measured the porch. It was about 35 feet wide. The courtyard was around the porch.

15. From the front of the outer side of the gate to the front of the porch of the inner side of the gate was 87½ feet.

16. The rooms and porch had small windows on all sides. The windows were narrower on the side facing the gateway. Carvings of palm trees were on each inner wall of the rooms.

17. Then the man brought me into the outer courtyard. I saw rooms and a pavement of stones. Thirty rooms were along the edge of the paved walkway.

18. The pavement ran alongside the gates. It was as long as the gates were wide. This was the lower pavement.
