Ezekiel 40:23 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:23

And the gate of the inward court was over against the gate
toward the north, and toward the east
Or, "and as to the east" {h}; that is, the north gate of the inner court was directly opposite to the north gate of the outward court; just as the eastern gate of the inward court was in a straight line opposite to the eastern gate of the outward court: and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits;
from the north gate of the outward court to the north gate of the inward court; and it was exactly of the same distance from one another as on the left side; see ( Ezekiel 40:19 ) .

Ezekiel 40:23 In-Context

21 The three guardrooms on each side of the passageway, the walls between them, and the entrance room all had the same measurements as those in the east gateway. The total length of the gateway was 84 feet and the width 42 feet.

22 The entrance room, the windows, and the carved palm trees were like those in the east gate. Here seven steps led up to the gate, and the entrance room was at the end facing the courtyard.

23 Across the courtyard from this north gateway was another gateway leading to the inner courtyard, just as there was on the east side. The man measured the distance between these two gateways, and it was 168 feet.

24 Next, the man took me to the south side, and there we saw another gateway. He measured its inner walls and its entrance room, and they were the same as the others.

25 There were windows in the rooms of this gateway just as in the others. The total length of the gateway was 84 feet and the width 42 feet.
