Contextual Overview

5 I saw a wall all around the outside of the house of the Lord. The stick in the man's hand was six cubits long (with the width of a hand being added to the length of each arm). And with it he showed that the wall was one stick wide and one stick high. 6 Then he went up the steps of the east gate, and showed me with his stick that the gateway was one stick wide, and the other gate was also one stick wide. 7 The rooms for the watchmen were each one stick long and one stick wide, and they were five cubits apart. And the gateway next to the porch toward the Lord's house was one stick wide. 8 Then he showed me with his stick that the porch of the inside gate was one-tenth stick wide. 9 The porch of the gate was eight cubits and its side pillars two cubits wide. The porch of the gate was on the inside. 10 There were three rooms for the watchmen on each side of the east gate. They all had the same length and width. And the pillars on each side were the same in width. 11 Then he showed me that the opening of the gateway was ten cubits wide and thirteen cubits long. 12 There was a wall one-tenth cubit wide in front of the watchmen's rooms on each side. And the watchmen's rooms were six cubits wide and six cubits long. 13 Then he showed me that it was twenty-five cubits from the roof of one room to the roof of the room across from it. 14 He showed me that it was twenty cubits around the walls inside the gateway, up to the porch facing the open space.

And there were seven steps to go up to it,.... To the south gate, as there were to the east and north gates, Ezekiel 40:6:

and the arches thereof were before them; Ezekiel 40:6- ::

and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof; that is, on the posts of this gate were palm trees, two on each post, one on one side, and the other on the other: this verse shows us how many palm trees were painted on the posts, and how they were disposed of; Ezekiel 40:6- :.
