EZEKIEL 40:49 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.”
The vestibule was ten cubits deep, and the entrance of the temple was five cubits wide on this side and five cubits wide on that side, and the sides of the entrance were three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side—providing additional measurements that clarify the vestibule's dimensions and establish the width of the temple entrance. The ten-cubit depth of the vestibule corresponds to the twenty-cubit length mentioned earlier. The five-cubit temple entrance is narrower than the vestibule, indicating progressive restriction as one approaches the inner sanctuary. This verse provides final measurements of the entrance passage to the inner sanctuary, completing the detailed description of the outer temple approaches.
