Ezekiel 40:15

And the distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its inner portico was fifty cubits.

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — Ezekiel records a visionary architectural survey during a detailed measurement of a temple gateway complex.

The words — אֻלָ֥ם ('u.Lam) = [the] porch/portico; הָֽ/אִית֔וֹן (hai./yo.ton) = the entrance.

The thread — The verse belongs to a systematic catalog of structural dimensions and features within Ezekiel 40:14; Ezekiel 40:16.

Why it lands — It asks the reader to track exact spatial relationships in a visionary blueprint, treating sacred architecture with geometric precision.
