Ezekiel Chapter 40 Vs. 9

 The East Gate to the Outer Court

Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward. Eze 40:9




eight cubits; and... At 21 inches for the long cubit, this would be 14 feet.

The porch was 8 cubits or 14 feet. The porch then was, 9 or 10 feet wide and 14 feet long. We know that there were at least two posts, because it is plural. Each of them were 3 ft. We do not know, whether these posts are round or square.



Ezekiel passed into the outer court through the gate facing east. This was one of three gates leading into the outer court. Since it faced east, it was the most important gate.
