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 pavement (that is, the lower pavement ) was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates.

19 Then he measured the width from the front of the lower gate to the front of the exterior of the inner court, a hundred cubits on the east and on the north.

20 As for the gate of the outer court which faced the north, he measured its length and its width.

21 It had three guardrooms on each side; and its side pillars and its porches had the same measurement as the first gate. Its length was fifty cubits and the width twenty-five cubits.

22 Its windows and its porches and its palm tree ornaments had the same measurements as the gate which faced toward the east; and it was reached by seven steps, and its porch was in front of them.
