## Ezekiel 40:5-16 in Context (Verses 2–19 KJV)
 
 [2 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/2) In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which *was* as the frame of a city on the south.*
 
 [3 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/3) And he brought me thither, and, behold, *there was* a man, whose appearance *was* like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/4) And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew *them* unto thee *art* thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/5) And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits *long* by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/6) ¶ Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, *which was* one reed broad; and the other threshold *of the gate, which was* one reed broad.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/7) And *every* little chamber *was* one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers *were* five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within *was* one reed.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/8) He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/9) Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate *was* inward.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/10) And the little chambers of the gate eastward *were* three on this side, and three on that side; they three *were* of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/11) And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; *and* the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/12) The space also before the little chambers *was* one cubit *on this side*, and the space *was* one cubit on that side: and the little chambers *were* six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.*
 
 [13 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/13) He measured then the gate from the roof of *one* little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth *was* five and twenty cubits, door against door.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/14) He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/15) And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate *were* fifty cubits.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/16) And *there were* narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows *were* round about inward: and upon *each* post *were* palm trees.***
 
 [17 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/17) Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, *there were* chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers *were* upon the pavement.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/18) And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates *was* the lower pavement.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/ezekiel/40/19) Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.*
