John Gill Bible Commentary

And the little chambers of the gate eastward,.... Where the man now was, and was measuring; and the like chambers there were in the other gates, and of the same measure; of which chambers See Gill on Eze 40:7, were three on this side, and three on that side; three on the right side of the porch to the north, and three on the left side of it to the south: they three were of one measure; one reed, or three yards and a half square, as in Eze 40:7. and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side; on the right and left, north and south of the inward gate of the porch, which measure was two cubits, Eze 40:9.
