five cubits: and the third little chamber LMN,
a reed long and a reed broad: and the threshold
of the gate next the porch of the gate within, OP,
one reed: and he measured the porch of the gate,
QR, eight cubits; and the posts thereof ST,
st, two cubits; and the porch of the gate,
QR, was inward, or toward the inward court;
and the little chambers, EF, HI, LM,
ef, hi, lm, were outward, or
to the east; three on this side, and three on that
side of the gate. There was one measure
of the three, and one measure of the posts on this
side, and on that side; and he measured the breadth
of the door of the gate, Cc, or Dd,
ten cubits; and the breadth of the gate within between
the little chambers, Ee or Ff, thirteen cubits;
and the limit, or margin, or step before the little
chambers, EM, one cubit on this side, and the
step, em, one cubit on the other side; and
the little chambers, EFG, HIK, LMN,
efg, hik, lmn, were six cubits
broad on this side, and six cubits broad
on that side: and he measured the whole breadth
of the gate, from the further wall of one
little chamber to the further wall of another
little chamber: the breadth, Gg, or Kk, or
Nn, was twenty and five cubits through;
door, FH, against door, fh: and
he measured the posts, EF, HI, and LM,
ef, hi, and lm, twenty cubits
high; and at the posts there were gates, or
arched passages, FH, IL, fh, il, round about;
and from the eastern face of the gate at the
entrance, Cc, to the western face of
the porch of the gate within, Tt, were fifty
cubits: and there were narrow windows to the little
chambers, and to the porch within the gate, round
about, and likewise to the posts; even windows were
round about within: and upon each post were palm
trees._
Then he brought me into the Outward Court, and lo there were chambers, and a pavement with pillars upon it in the court round about, [478]_ thirty chambers in length upon the pavement, supported by the pillars, ten chambers on every side, except the western: and the pavement butted upon the shoulders or sides of the gates below, every gate having five chambers or exhedrae on either side. And he measured the breadth of the Outward Court, from the fore-front of the lower-gate, to the fore-front of the inward court, an hundred cubits eastward._
