And the little chambers thereof were three on this side, and
three on that side
As in the eastern gate, and the measures the same, ( Ezekiel 40:7 ) . Gospel churches in the latter day will be all on the same plan, and modelled according to the same pattern, and be in just the same order, one as another: and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, were after the same
measure of the first gate;
the eastern gate: believers will be all pillars in the church of God, and partakers of the same like precious faith: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty
cubits;
see ( Ezekiel 40:13 Ezekiel 40:15 ) .
