Ezekiel 40:20 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:20

And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the
north
Or the north gate of this building: having finished the dimensions of the eastern gate, those of the north gate are taken: he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof;
as he had the eastern gate, and which were the same; and so of the south gate, ( Ezekiel 40:24 ) , which denotes the uniformity in religion in the latter day, in the way of entrance into the churches, and in doctrine, discipline, worship, and ordinances.

Ezekiel 40:20 In-Context

18 The walkway was the same length as the gateways. It flanked them and ran their entire length. This was the walkway for the outside courtyard.
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.
