Quick answer
The guide measures the inner east gate to the same dimensions. The eastern inner gate matches the pattern.
Overview
Bringing Ezekiel into the inner court toward the east, the man measures that gate according to the same measurements. The inner east gate conforms to the consistent design of the others. This continued uniformity reinforces the orderly symmetry of the temple, every gate shaped according to one divine plan as the vision moves toward the sanctuary itself.
