John Gill Commentary
"And he measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;" — Ezekiel 40:11 (ASV)
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.
