Ezekiel 40:21

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 ) .

Ezekiel 40:21 In-Context

19 He measured the distance from the front of the entrance gateway across to the entrance of the inner court: one hundred fifty feet.

20 Here was another gate complex facing north, exiting the outside courtyard. He measured its length and width.

21 It had three alcoves on each side. Its gateposts and porch were the same as in the first gate: eighty-seven and a half feet by forty-three and three-quarters feet.

22 The windows and palm trees were identical to the east gateway. Seven steps led up to it, and its porch faced inward.

23 Opposite this gate complex was a gate complex to the inside courtyard, on the north as on the east. The distance between the two was one hundred seventy-five feet.
