Ezekiel 40:21

21 Here, too, there were three guard alcoves on each side, with dividing walls and an entry room. All the measurements matched those of the east gateway. The gateway passage was 87 feet long and 43 feet wide between the back walls of facing guard alcoves.

Ezekiel 40:21 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:21

And the little chambers thereof were three on this side, and
three on that side
As in the eastern gate, and the measures the same, ( Ezekiel 40:7 ) . Gospel churches in the latter day will be all on the same plan, and modelled according to the same pattern, and be in just the same order, one as another: and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, were after the same
measure of the first gate;
the eastern gate: believers will be all pillars in the church of God, and partakers of the same like precious faith: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty
cubits;
see ( Ezekiel 40:13 Ezekiel 40:15 ) .

Ezekiel 40:21 In-Context

19 Then the man measured across the Temple’s outer courtyard between the outer and inner gateways; the distance was 175 feet.

20 The man measured the gateway on the north just like the one on the east.

21 Here, too, there were three guard alcoves on each side, with dividing walls and an entry room. All the measurements matched those of the east gateway. The gateway passage was 87 feet long and 43 feet wide between the back walls of facing guard alcoves.

22 The windows, the entry room, and the palm tree decorations were identical to those in the east gateway. There were seven steps leading up to the gateway entrance, and the entry room was at the inner end of the gateway passage.

23 Here on the north side, just as on the east, there was another gateway leading to the Temple’s inner courtyard directly opposite this outer gateway. The distance between the two gateways was 175 feet.
