29. Its cells, posts, and vestibule were the same size as the others, fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

30. The vestibules all around were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits wide.

31. Its vestibule faced the outer court; palms decorated its posts, and its stairway had eight steps.

32. Then he brought me to the inner courtyard on the east and measured the gate there; its dimensions were the same as the others.

33. Its cells, posts, and vestibule were the same size as the others. The gate and its vestibule had windows on both sides, fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

34. Its vestibule faced the outer court, palms decorated the posts opposite each other, and it had a stairway of eight steps.

35. Then he brought me to the north gate, where he measured the dimensions

36. of its cells, posts, and vestibule; they were the same. The gate and its vestibule had windows on both sides, fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

37. Its vestibule faced the outer court; palm trees decorated its posts opposite each other, and it had a stairway of eight steps.

38. There was a chamber opening off the vestibule of the gate where burnt offerings were washed.

39. In the vestibule of the gate there were two tables on either side for slaughtering the burnt offerings, purification offerings, and reparation offerings.

40. Two more tables stood along the wall of the vestibule by the entrance of the north gate, and two tables on the other side of the vestibule of the gate.

41. There were thus four tables on one side of the gate and four tables on the other side, eight tables in all, for slaughtering.

42. The four tables for burnt offerings were made of cut stone, one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and one cubit high; the instruments used for slaughtering burnt offerings and other sacrifices were kept

43. on shelves the width of one hand, fixed all around the room; but on the tables themselves was the meat for the sacrifices.

44. Outside the inner gatehouse there were two rooms on the inner courtyard, one beside the north gate, facing south, and the other beside the south gate, facing north.
