Ezekiel 40:47

The inner area was the yard in front of the *temple building. Here the *altar stood. The fires of the *sacrifices would burn continuously here. And the smoke would rise towards God in heaven. Ezekiel describes the *altar in 43:13-27.

v48 The man brought me to the entrance of the *temple. He measured each wall at the side of the entrance. Each one was 5 *cubits thick. The entrance was 14 *cubits wide. The walls at the side of the door were each three *cubits wide. v49 The entrance hall was 20 *cubits wide and 11 *cubits long. There were 10 steps up to the entrance. There were two columns, one on each side of the entrance.
