Ezekiel 40:35 Summary
[Ezekiel 40:35 tells us that the north gate of the temple had the same measurements as the other gates, showing us that God is a God of order and perfection.

The uniformity of the gates also demonstrates God's attention to detail, encouraging us to be diligent in our pursuit of Him. By reflecting on this verse, we can learn to cultivate order and perfection in our own spiritual lives, just as God has designed the temple with precision and care.]

28–37. The inner court and its gateways The measurement of the outer court was finished at the S. gate. Opposite to this was the S. gate of the inner court at a distance of 100 cubits (Ezekiel 40:27), and the measurement of the inner court naturally begins with the S. gate. The gates of the inner court were similar in all respects to those of the outer court, except that in the former the “porch” lay at the outer end of the gateway, looking into the outer court (Ezekiel 40:31; Ezekiel 40:34; Ezekiel 40:37).
