7. Each cell was one rod long and one rod wide, and there were five cubits between the cells; the threshold of the inner gateway adjoining the vestibule of the gate facing the temple was one rod wide.
8. He also measured the vestibule of the inner gate,
9. eight cubits, and its posts, two cubits each. The vestibule faced the inside.
10. On each side of the east gatehouse were three cells, all the same size; their posts were all the same size.
11. He measured the width of the gate’s entryway, ten cubits, and the length of the gate itself, thirteen cubits.
12. The borders in front of the cells on both sides were one cubit, while the cells themselves measured six cubits by six cubits from one opening to the next.
13. Next he measured the gatehouse from the back wall of one cell to the back wall of the cell on the opposite side through the openings facing each other, a width of twenty-five cubits.
14. All around the courtyard of the gatehouse were posts six cubits high.
15. From the front of the gatehouse at its outer entry to the gateway of the porch facing inward, the length was fifty cubits.
16. There were recessed windows in the cells on all sides and in the posts on the inner side of the gate. Posts and windows were all around the inside, with palm trees decorating the posts.
17. Then he brought me to the outer court, where there were chambers and pavement laid all around the courtyard: thirty chambers facing the pavement.
18. The pavement lay alongside the gatehouses, the same length as the gates; this was the lower pavement.
19. He measured the length of the pavement from the front of the lower gate to the outside of the inner gate, one hundred cubits. He then moved from the east to the north side.
20. He measured the length and width of the north gate of the outer courtyard.
21. Its cells, three on each side, its posts, and its vestibule had the same measurements as those of the first gate, fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
22. Its windows, its vestibule, and its palm decorations had the same proportions as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, and its vestibule faced the inside.
23. The inner court had a gate opposite the north gate, just as at the east gate; he measured one hundred cubits from one gate to the other.
24. Then he led me to the south. There, too, facing south, was a gate! He measured its posts and vestibule; they were the same size as the others.
