Study note
Setting — The prophet Ezekiel records a visionary tour of a future temple complex, where a measuring figure systematically documents the dimensions of the courtyard and sanctuary.
The words — The text specifies the breadth (רֹחַב, roChav) and the face (פָּנִים, panim) of the house (בַּיִת, bayit) and the separate place (גִּזְרָה, gizrah) toward the east (קָדִים, qadim) as exactly one hundred (מֵאָה, me'ah) cubits (אַמָּה, ammah).
The thread — This identical hundred-cubit dimension appears in the immediate context for the temple’s length (Ezekiel 41:13) and the rear building’s length (Ezekiel 41:15).
Why it lands — The text demands recognition of deliberate spatial symmetry in the sanctuary’s design, requiring the reader to track how each measured section mirrors the others.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.

King James Version
Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits.
