Ezekiel 40:32 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:32

And he brought me into the inner court toward the east
Into that part of it which lay to the east, having gone through that which lay to the south: and he measured the gate according to these measures;
that is, the eastern gate of the inner court; for the eastern gate that led to the outward court he measured first, ( Ezekiel 40:6 ) , and this was according to the measure of that, and of the rest.

30 And he meted the porch by compass, the length of five and twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof of five cubits. (And he measured the porch all around, its length was twenty-five cubits, and its breadth was five cubits.)
31 And the porch thereof was to the outermore foreyard, and the palm trees thereof in the post(s); and eight degrees were, by which men ascended through it. (And its porch faced the outer courtyard, and palm trees were carved on its posts; and there were eight steps, by which people went up to it.)

34 and the porch thereof, that is, of the outermore foreyard; and palm trees graven in the post(s) thereof, on this side and on that side; and in eight degrees was the ascending thereof.
