Then he brought me
This phrase indicates a continuation of the visionary journey that Ezekiel is experiencing. The "he" refers to the angelic guide who is leading Ezekiel through the vision of the new temple. This guidance symbolizes divine revelation and instruction, emphasizing that understanding and insight come from God. The Hebrew root for "brought" (בּוֹא, bo) implies a leading or bringing into a deeper understanding or experience, suggesting that God is actively involved in revealing His plans to His people.

to the north gate
The north gate is one of the three main gates of the temple complex described in Ezekiel's vision. In ancient Near Eastern culture, gates were significant as places of entrance, judgment, and commerce. The north gate, in particular, may symbolize a place of divine encounter and revelation. Historically, the north side of Jerusalem was often associated with vulnerability to attack, yet here it is a place of divine measurement and order, indicating God's sovereignty and protection.

and he measured it
Measurement in biblical terms often signifies God's order, precision, and standards. The act of measuring the gate underscores the importance of divine order and the meticulous nature of God's plans. The Hebrew word for "measured" (מָדַד, madad) conveys the idea of assessing or evaluating according to a standard. This reflects the biblical theme that God has specific standards for His dwelling place and for His people.

according to the same specifications
This phrase highlights the consistency and uniformity in God's design for the temple. The repetition of measurements throughout Ezekiel's vision signifies the perfection and holiness required in God's presence. The Hebrew concept of "specifications" (תָּכְנִית, takhnit) implies a blueprint or plan, suggesting that God's purposes are deliberate and well-ordered. This consistency serves as a reminder of God's unchanging nature and His faithfulness to His promises.

Verses 35-37. - The north gate of the inner court. The same minute specification of the guard-rooms, the pillars, wall-projections, windows, steps, is again repeated, as if to show that all parts in this divinely fashioned edifice were of equal moment.
