Ezekiel 40:14-16
Wycliffe Bible
14 And he made posts by sixty cubits, and at the post a foreyard[a] of the gate on each side by compass; (And he made posts of sixty cubits, and at the post a courtyard of the gateway on each side all around;)
15 and before the face of the gate that stretcheth forth till to the face of the porch of the inner gate, he meted fifty cubits. (and he measured the gateway from the front of the gate unto the front of the porch of the inner gate, fifty cubits.)
16 And he meted windows narrow without and large within, in the (little) chambers, and posts of those, that were within the gate on each side by compass. Soothly in like manner also windows were in the porches[b] by compass within; and the painture of palm trees was graven before the posts. (And he measured the windows that were narrow outside and large within, in the little chambers, and their posts, that were within the gate on each side all around. And in like manner windows were also in the porch all around within; and images of palm trees were carved on the posts.)

- Ezekiel 40:14 In the original text, throughout the rest of Ezekiel, both “foreyard” and “hall” are used to express a “court” or a “courtyard”, at times within the same sentence (“hall” is also used to express a “porch”, and once, in a misprint, a “wall”; “court” is found elsewhere in the “Wycliffe Bible”). To avoid confusion, and to enhance comprehension, only “foreyard” will be used here.
- Ezekiel 40:16 In the original text, throughout the rest of Ezekiel, “porch/es” and “hall(way)/s” are used interchangeably. To avoid confusion, and to enhance comprehension, only “porch/es” will be used here.
