“There was a wall outside,
Parallel to the chambers,
Toward the outer court,
Opposite the chambers.
It was fifty cubits long.
The chambers
On the outer court
Were fifty cubits long.
Those opposite
The temple
Were one hundred cubits long.
At the foot
Of these chambers
Ran a passage
That one emerged
From the east,
In order to enter them
From the outer court.
The width of the passage
Was fixed by the wall
Of the court.”
Ezekiel further explained about an outside wall of 50 cubits or about 80 feet long. This wall was parallel and opposite to the chambers of the outer court, also 50 cubits long. Opposite the Temple, was a passage way that was 100 cubits long or about 160 feet. This walkway emerged from the east to enter the outer court. Obviously, this passageway length was fixed by the wall of the court along the side of it.
