Ezekiel 40:7-9
New Living Translation
7 There were guard alcoves on each side built into the gateway passage. Each of these alcoves was 10 1⁄2 feet square, with a distance between them of 8 3⁄4 feet[a] along the passage wall. The gateway’s inner threshold, which led to the entry room at the inner end of the gateway passage, was 10 1⁄2 feet front to back. 8 He also measured the entry room of the gateway.[b] 9 It was 14 feet[c] across, with supporting columns 3 1⁄2 feet[d] thick. This entry room was at the inner end of the gateway structure, facing toward the Temple.
