6. Then the man went to the east gateway. He went up its steps and measured the opening of the gateway. It was ten and one-half feet deep.
7. The rooms for the guards were ten and one-half feet long and ten and one-half feet wide. The walls that came out between the guards’ rooms were about nine feet thick. The opening of the gateway next to the porch that faced the Temple was ten and one-half feet deep.
8. Then the man measured the porch of the gateway.
9. It was about fourteen feet deep, and its side walls were three and one-half feet thick. The porch of the gateway faced the Temple.
10. On each side of the east gateway were three rooms, which measured the same on each side. The walls between each room were the same thickness.
11. The man measured the width of the entrance to the gateway, which was seventeen and one-half feet wide. The width of the gate was about twenty-three feet.
12. And there was a low wall about twenty-one inches high in front of each room. The rooms were ten and one-half feet on each side.
13. The man measured the gateway from the roof of one room to the roof of the opposite room. It was about forty-four feet from one door to the opposite door.
14. The man also measured the porch, which was about thirty-five feet wide. The courtyard was around the porch.
15. From the front of the outer side of the gateway to the front of the porch of the inner side of the gateway was eighty-seven and one-half feet.
16. The rooms and porch had small windows on both sides. The windows were narrower on the side facing the gateway. Carvings of palm trees were on each side wall of the rooms.
17. Then the man brought me into the outer courtyard where I saw rooms and a pavement of stones all around the court. Thirty rooms were along the edge of the paved walkway.
