Ezekiel 40:11 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:11

And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten
cubits
Five yards, two feet and a half: this was the measure of the eastern gate, whether outward or inward; for they were both of a measure, as appears from the thresholds being alike: and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;
that is, the height of it; it was seven yards and three inches high; a prodigious gate this! a fit emblem of our Lord Jesus Christ, as the open door, the gate of life, through which whoever enters shall be saved; and there is room for multitudes to enter.

Ezekiel 40:11 In-Context

9 Then he measured the entrance of the portal, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the entrance of the portal within.

10 And the gate eastward had three chambers on each side, they three were of one measure; and the portals were also of one measure on each side.

11 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the portal, thirteen cubits.

12 The space also before the chambers was one cubit on this side, and the space was one cubit on that side; and the chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

13 He measured then the gate from the roof of one chamber to the roof of another; the breadth was twenty-five cubits, door against door.
