"Same measurements"

Text: Ezekiel 40:28

THE INNER COURT

The angel measured the Inner Court and the Outer Court. Each Gateway shared the same dimensions.

“Then he brought me to the inner court
through the southern gateway;
he measured the southern gateway
according to these same measurements.
Also its gate chambers, its gateposts,
and its archways were according to these same measurements;
there were windows in it and in its archways all around;
it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
There were archways all around,
twenty-five cubits long and five cubits wide.
Its archways faced the outer court,
palm trees were on its gateposts,
and going up to it were eight steps.
And he brought me into the inner court facing east;
he measured the gateway according to these same measurements.
Also its gate chambers, its gateposts,
and its archways were according to these same measurements;
and there were windows in it and in its archways all around;
it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
Its archways faced the outer court,
and palm trees were on its gateposts
on this side and on that side;
and going up to it were eight steps.
Then he brought me to the north gateway
and measured it according to these same measurements—
also its gate chambers, its gateposts, and its archways.
It had windows all around;
its length was fifty cubits and its width twenty-five cubits.
Its gateposts faced the outer court,
palm trees were on its gateposts on this side and on that side,
and going up to it were eight steps.”
Ezekiel 40:28-37
