Ezekiel 40:10

10 Certainly the (little) chambers of the gate at the way of the east were three on this side, and three on that side; one measure of three, and one measure of the posts on ever either side. (And the little chambers of the gateway, facing east, were three on this side, and three on that side; one measurement was of the three, and one measurement was of the posts on both sides.)

Ezekiel 40:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:10

And the little chambers of the gate eastward
Where the man now was, and was measuring; and the like chambers there were in the other gates, and of the same measure; of which chambers (See Gill on Ezekiel 40:7): were three on this side, and three on that side;
three on the right side of the porch to the north, and three on the left side of it to the south: they three were of one measure;
one reed, or three yards and a half square, as in ( Ezekiel 40:7 ) and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side;
on the right and left, north and south of the inward gate of the porch, which measure was two cubits, ( Ezekiel 40:9 ) .

Ezekiel 40:10 In-Context

8 (This verse omitted in the original text.)
9 And he meted the porch of the gate of eight cubits, and the post(s) thereof by two cubits; soothly the porch of the gate was within. (And he measured the porch of the gateway, eight cubits, and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gateway was within.)
10 Certainly the (little) chambers of the gate at the way of the east were three on this side, and three on that side; one measure of three, and one measure of the posts on ever either side. (And the little chambers of the gateway, facing east, were three on this side, and three on that side; one measurement was of the three, and one measurement was of the posts on both sides.)
11 And he meted the breadth of the lintel of the gate of ten cubits, and the length of the gate of thirteen cubits. (And he measured the breadth of the lintel of the gateway, ten cubits, and the length of the gateway, thirteen cubits.)
12 And he meted a margin of one cubit before the (little) chambers, and one cubit was the end on each side; forsooth the (little) chambers were of six cubits on this side and on that side. (And he measured a low wall, or a curb, in front of the little chambers, and the curb was one cubit on each side; and the little chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.)
