Ezekiel 40:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ The rooms and their side walls inside the gateway had narrow openings on top of them. So did the porch. All the openings faced the inside. The front of each side wall was decorated with a palm tree.

The Outer Courtyard

¹⁷ Then the man brought me into the outer courtyard. There I saw some rooms and a sidewalk. They had been built all around the courtyard. Along the sidewalk were 30 rooms. ¹⁸ The sidewalk went all the way up to the sides of the gateways. It was as wide as they were long. This was the lower sidewalk.
