40:28-31 Ezekiel discovered that the south inner gate complex was the same as the outer gate complexes. All the vestibules of the three gate complexes totaled 25 cubits across and each of them was five cubits deep (rather than eight, v. 9). Also there were windows or niches on all four sides and eight steps leading up to it from the outer court (cf. v. 22). However the vestibule of this gate complex, as well as the other inner gate complexes, was facing the outer court.
40:32-34 The eastern inner gate complex was exactly like the southern inner gate complex. Palm tree representations adorned its door frames too.
40:35-37 There was also an identical inner gate complex on the north side.
