EZEKIEL 40:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.”
There was a gate to the inner court opposite the gate on the north and on the east, and he measured from gate to gate, one hundred cubits—indicating that gates at opposite points are directly aligned and separated by a hundred cubits. The alignment of gates suggests processional pathways; one can proceed directly from outer to inner courts. The hundred-cubit measurement establishes the consistent width of the courtyard on this axis. This verse establishes the symmetrical and processional arrangement of gates.
