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 And its alcoves [were] {three on each side}, and its pilasters and its porticos {had the same measurement} [as] the first gate: its length [was] fifty cubits, and [its] width [was] twenty-five {cubits}.

22 And its windows and its porticos and its palm tree images [were] like the measurement of the gate that [was] {facing toward the east}; and {it had} seven steps that go up it, and [there were] porticos {before them}.

23 And a gate [led] to the inner courtyard, opposite the gate to the north and to the east, and he measured from gate to gate [as] a hundred cubits.

24 And [then] he took me {toward the south}, and look, a gate {toward the south}, and he measured its pilasters and its porticos; [they had] measurements [just] {like the others}.

25 And [there were] for it windows and for its porticos {all the way around it} like these windows; fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
