Read Ezekiel 40.5-47 The Temple walls, gates, and courtyards.
In verse 5 six long cubits: over ten feet or three meters.
A long cubit is about 518 millimeters or 20.68 inches.
In verses 5-16 the east gate is the main gate of the Temple complex, which faces east toward the sun.
It is built according to the basic pattern of the fortified Solomonic gates at Gezer, Hazor, and Megiddo, with an initial threshold built into the wall, followed by three recessed chambers, an inner threshold, and the vestibule.
Pilaster: a projecting column that may have served as a door jamb.
Windows provide light for the recessed chambers and the vestibule.
