14 Forsooth the breadth of the street before the face of the house (of the Lord), and of that (place) that was separated against the east, was of an hundred cubits. (And the breadth of the street before the front of the Temple, and of the open space facing east, was also a hundred cubits.)

Ezekiel 41:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 41:14

Also the breadth of the face of the house, and the separate
place toward the east
The whole front of the temple, the holy and most holy place, which looked to the east: and was measured from north to south, an hundred cubits:
which some reckon thus; the breadth of the temple twenty cubits; the thickness of the outward walls, twelve cubits; the side chambers, eight cubits; the walls of these chambers, five cubits on each side: the breadth of the void space, five cubits on each side; and twenty cubits round about the house; so that the length and breadth of this structure was the same, and made a perfect foursquare, as the city of the New Jerusalem is said to be, ( Revelation 21:16 ) .

Ezekiel 41:14 In-Context

12 And the building that was joined to the place separated, and turned to the way beholding to the sea, (was) of the breadth of seventy cubits; soothly the wall of the building (was) of five cubits of breadth by compass, and the length thereof of ninety cubits. (And the building that was at the far end of the open space, and turned toward the west, was seventy cubits in breadth; the wall of the building was five cubits in breadth all around, and its length was ninety cubits.)
13 And he meted the length of the house (of the Lord), of an hundred cubits; and that (place) that was separated, (and) the building, and the walls thereof, (were) of the length of an hundred cubits. (And he measured the length of the Temple, a hundred cubits; and the length of the open space, and the building, and its walls, was also a hundred cubits.)
14 Forsooth the breadth of the street before the face of the house (of the Lord), and of that (place) that was separated against the east, was of an hundred cubits. (And the breadth of the street before the front of the Temple, and of the open space facing east, was also a hundred cubits.)
15 And he meted the length of the building (over) against the face of that (place) that was separated at the back; he meted the buttresses on ever either side, of an hundred cubits. And he meted the inner temple, and the porches of the foreyard, (And he measured the length of the building at the far end of the open space, that was facing west, and its galleries on either side, and it was a hundred cubits. And the sanctuary, the inner temple, and the porch of the courtyard,)
16 lintels, and windows narrow withoutforth and broad within; buttresses in compass by three parts, against the lintel of each, and arrayed with wood by compass all about; soothly from the earth till to the windows, and the windows were closed (the lintels, and the windows narrow outside and broad within, and the galleries all around on three stories, over against the lintel of each, were arrayed with wood all around, from the ground, or the floor, up to the windows; and the windows were covered.)
