And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.

And he measured the breadth of the threshold of the gate ten cubits: and the length of the gate thirteen cubits:

And he measureth the breadth of the opening of the gate ten cubits, the length of the gate thirteen cubits;

And he took the measure of the opening of the doorway, ten cubits wide; and the way down the doorway was thirteen cubits;

And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as ten cubits, and the length of the gate as thirteen cubits.

The length of the gate - The length of the gateway (including the porch, E.) from the court to the uncovered space. The threshold was "six cubits," and the porch "six." In addition one cubit was probably allowed in front of the porch, as before the porch of the temple itself Ezekiel 40:49.

And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits,.... Five yards, two feet and a half: this was the measure of the eastern gate, whether outward or inward; for they were both of a measure, as appears from the thresholds being alike:
and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits; that is, the height of it; it was seven yards and three inches high; a prodigious gate this! a fit emblem of our Lord Jesus Christ, as the open door, the gate of life, through which whoever enters shall be saved; and there is room for multitudes to enter.

Of the entry - It is meant of the whole length of the entry, or walk through the porch, to which they ascended by stairs of a semicircular form.
