5. Behold, there was a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a hand width each. So he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
6. Then he came to the gate which looks towards the east, and went up its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate, one reed wide; and the other threshold, one reed wide.
7. Every lodge was one reed long and one reed wide. Between the lodges was five cubits. The threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate towards the house was one reed.
8. He measured also the porch of the gate towards the house, one reed.
9. Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was towards the house.
10. The lodges of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side. The three of them were of one measure. The posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
11. He measured the width of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;
12. and a border before the lodges, one cubit on this side, and a border, one cubit on that side; and the lodges, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
13. He measured the gate from the roof of the one lodge to the roof of the other, a width of twenty-five cubit, door against door.
14. He also made posts, sixty cubits; and the court reached to the posts, around the gate.
15. From the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.
