Eze 40:48–49

40:48 The temple entrance

48 Then the man took me to the temple porch and measured its doorposts—they were each two and a half metres thick. The entryway itself was seven metres wide,[fn] and the walls on each side of it were one and a half metres wide. 49 The porch was eleven metres wide and six metres deep, with steps going up to it and pillars standing on each side of it.

48 And_he_brought _me to the _porch _of the _house and_he _measured a _pillar _of a _porch five cubits from_here and_five cubits from_here and_the _breadth _of the _gate was_three cubits from_here and_three cubits from_here.

49 The _length _of the _porch was_twenty cubit[s] and_the_breadth was_one _plus _of ten cubit[s] and_by_steps which people _go _up to_him/it and_columns to the_pillars one from_here and_one from_here.

40:48 Following the LXX, as the 1.5m (three cubits) in the Hebrew appears likely to be a copying mistake.
