The East Gate to the Outer Court
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. Eze 40:7
little chamber was... There were 6 little chambers, 3 on each side of the walk from the inside of the wall to the inside gate which was also 10 feet 6 inches wide, each being a reed (10 feet 6 inches) square, with 5 cubits (8 feet 9 inches, based on the long cubit of 21 inches) between the chambers (Eze. 40:7-10).
Each opening was 10.5 feet across. Chambers (rooms), in the wall are 10.5 x 10.5 feet. Precise measurements describe a literal temple, not a symbolic one.
He described the gate in detail, with its steps… threshold, guards’ alcoves… portico facing the temple…
