Cele też brany ku drodze od wschodu słońca były z jednej strony trzy, a z drugiej także trzy, jednaka miara onych trzech była, a miara jednaż podwojom ich z obudwu stron.
Komory też bramy ku drodze wschodniej były trzy z jednej a trzy z drugiej strony; jednaka miara była wszystkich trzech, jednaka też miara podwoi ich z obu stron.
Zaś strażnic bramy zwróconej ku wschodowi było po trzy, z tej, oraz po trzy z przeciwległej strony – wszystkie trzy jednego wymiaru; jeden wymiar miały także pilastry, z jednej i z drugiej strony.

Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the little: Ezekiel 40:7
they three: The entrance into the outer court seems to have been through a porch with doors at both ends; and on each side of this porch were three small chambers, or rooms, for the use of the porters, a reed square in size, with a passage of five cubits between them. The common cubit, termed the "cubit of a man," - Deuteronomy 3:11, was about 18 inches; but the cubit used by the angel was, as we learn from Ezekiel 43:13, "a cubit and a hand breadth," or about three inches more than the common cubit, that is 21 inches. Hence the measuring reed, which was "six cubits long, by the cubit and the hand breadth," - Ezekiel 40:5, must have been about 10+ feet
Reciprocal: Ezekiel 40:21 - the little Ezekiel 40:29 - the little Ezekiel 40:44 - chambers
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the little chambers of the gate eastward,.... Where the man now was, and was measuring; and the like chambers there were in the other gates, and of the same measure; of which chambers
:-:
were three on this side, and three on that side; three on the right side of the porch to the north, and three on the left side of it to the south:
they three were of one measure; one reed, or three yards and a half square, as in Ezekiel 40:7
and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side; on the right and left, north and south of the inward gate of the porch, which measure was two cubits, Ezekiel 40:9.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
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 ×××× 'uÌlaÌm; the Septuagint: αιÌλαÌμ ailam; Vulgate: vestibulum. The word probably means porch or portico, connected with âailâ post or pillar.
Ezekiel 40:9
The porch is now measured from north to south in âwide.â âThe breadth of the entry of the gateâ was âten cubits,â made up of the âeight cubits,â with âa cubitâ for âa postâ or pillar on each side Ezekiel 40:11.
Posts - A projection like a ramâs horn; in architecture, a column projecting from the wall with its base, shaft, and capital, or it may be the âbaseâ only Ezekiel 40:16, Ezekiel 40:49. Here âpostâ represents the lower part of the column. and the dimensions given are those of the section of the base.
Ezekiel 40:10
In front of each guard-chamber were columns, whose âpostsâ (bases) were each one cubit square.
Ezekiel 40:11
The length of the gate - The length of the gateway (including the porch, E.) from the court to the uncovered space. The threshold was âsix cubits,â and the porch âsix.â In addition one cubit was probably allowed in front of the porch, as before the porch of the temple itself Ezekiel 40:49.
Ezekiel 40:13
This measurement is across the gate-building from north to south. The breadth of the gate-building was exactly half its length Ezekiel 40:15.
Ezekiel 40:14
Posts of threescore cubits - Sixty cubits were the length of a series of columns. This gives us another feature of the gate-building. Between the porch (E) and the two most western guard-chambers was a space of five cubits (through which the road passed), forming a kind of hall with columns along the sides. This hall is called the âarchesâ Ezekiel 40:16. A hall of the same dimensions was between the boundary wall and eastern guard-chambers Ezekiel 40:31. It is probable that in one of these halls (that of the eastern gateway of the inner court) the prince âate breadâ on solemn festivals Ezekiel 44:3.
Unto the post of the court round about the gate - This hall or colonnade extended the whole breadth of the building to the pavement (Ezekiel 40:18, H, Plan II). Outside the building on the pavement was a series of pillars.
Ezekiel 40:15
The whole length of the gate-building was thus made up:
Thickness of boundary wall | 6 cubits |
Hall of the entrance | 5 cubits |
Three guard-chambers (6 cubits) | 18 cubits |
Spaces between guard-chambers | 10 cubits |
Hall of the porch | 5 cubits |
The porch | 6 cubits |
Total | 50 cubits |
Ezekiel 40:16
The ânarrowâ (closed and (?)latticed âwindowsâ lit up both the guard-chambers and the hall. On the square base of the âpostâ stood the shaft in the form of a palm-tree, as we see in ancient buildings in the east.
