Ezekiel 40:11

“And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits, &c.] Five yards, two feet and a half: this was the measure of the eastern gate, whether outward or inward; for they were both of a measure, as appears from the thresholds being alike: and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits; that is, the height of it; it was seven yards and three inches high; a prodigious gate this! a fit emblem of our Lord Jesus Christ, as the open door, the gate of life, through which whoever enters shall be saved; and there is room for multitudes to enter.”

“The east gate-building. See Plan III. Ezekiel 40:6 Stairs - Seven in number Ezekiel 40:22. Each threshold of the gate (was) one reed broad (or 9 ft.). The measurements are being taken from East to west, i. e., in depth. Ezekiel 40:7 Every little chamber - The guard-chambers (a) for the use of the Levites who kept watch in the temple. The threshold of the gate by the porch - The second threshold in the easternmost gate-way (c). Porch - Hebrew אולם 'ûlâm; the Septuagint: αἰλάμ ailam; Vulgate: vestibulum. The word probably means porch or portico, connected with “ail” post or pillar. Ezekiel 40:9 The porch is now measured from north to south in “wide.” “The breadth of the entry of the gate”…”

“Of the entry - It is meant of the whole length of the entry, or walk through the porch, to which they ascended by stairs of a semicircular form. Ezekiel 40:12”
