And they entered the wall of the house for the side rooms all around, that they may be fastened.But they were not fastened in the wall ofthe house. 7 And there was a widening and a winding upwards and upwards for the side rooms, for the winding around of the house went upward and upward, all around the house. On account ofthis the width of the house went up, and sofrom the lowest it went up to the highest by the middle story . 8 I also saw the height of the house all around, the foundations of the side rooms were a full reed, six cubits by joining. 9 The width of the wall which was for the side room to the outside was five cubits, and that which was left between the side rooms that were of the house. 10 And between the rooms was the width of twenty cubits circling the house all around.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the breadth of the door was ten cubits,.... The temple door: great care is taken to observe and give the dimensions of the doors and gates of various places; to put us in mind of Christ the door and gate into the church, and into fellowship with God: this was as broad again as the door of Solomon's temple; for that was but the fourth part of the wall of it, five cubits, 1 Kings 6:1:
and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side; the side walls of the door, both on the north and south, were five cubits each; which, with the ten, the breadth of the door, made twenty; and is just the breadth of the temple or holy place afterwards given:
and he measured the length thereof forty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits; that is, the length of the temple from east to west, and the breadth of it from north to south, were of this measure; which exactly answers to the dimensions of Solomon's temple, a figure of the Gospel church, as this; see 1 Kings 6:2.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The measurements are internal, the same as in the Temple of Solomon.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 41:2. The breadth of the door — This was the door, or gate, of the sanctuary, (see gates, 3, in the plan,) Ezekiel 48:35, and this doorway was filled up with folding gates. The measurements are exactly the same as those of Solomon's temple. See 1 Kings 6:2; 1 Kings 6:17.
