And the little chambers thereof were three on this side, and three on that side,…. As in the eastern gate, and the measures the same, Eze 40:7. Gospel churches in the latter day will be all on the same plan, and modelled according to the same pattern, and be in just the same order, one as another:

the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits; see Eze 40:13.
