Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad.
And went up the stairs - seven in number (Ezekiel 40:26).
And measures the threshold - the sill (Fairbairn).
And the other threshold. Fairbairn considers there is but one threshold, and translates, 'even the one threshold, one rod broad.' But there is another threshold mentioned in Ezekiel 40:7. The two thresholds here seem to be the upper and the lower.
