Ezekiel 40:21The lodges of it were three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and its arches were after the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.
The setting
Same vision continues. Ezekiel notices the EXACT same proportions as the first gate — God's consistency even in restoration...
The emotion here: amazed priest discovering God's attention to beautiful consistency
The original word
ammah (אַמָּה) — cubit, the standard measurement from elbow to fingertip
Why it matters
A cubit was about 18 inches — this gate was 75 feet long, 37.5 feet wide
