8. He measured also the porch or vestibule of the gate toward the house [of the Lord], one reed.
9. Then he measured the porch or vestibule of the gateway, eight cubits, and its posts or jambs, two cubits. And the porch or vestibule of the gate was inside [toward the house of the Lord].
10. And the guardrooms or lodges of the east gateway were three on this side and three on that side; the three were the same size, and the posts or jambs were the same size on either side.
11. And he measured the breadth of the opening of the gateway, ten cubits, and the length of the gateway, thirteen cubits.
12. And a border or barrier before the guardrooms was one cubit on this side, and a border or barrier, one cubit on that side. And the guardrooms or lodges were six cubits on this side and six cubits on that side.
13. And the man [an angel] measured the gate from the outer wall of one chamber or guardroom to the outer wall of another–a breadth of twenty-five cubits from door to door.
14. And the open part of the porch or vestibule of the gateway on the outside was twenty cubits, the chambers or guardrooms of the gate being round about.
15. And including this porch or vestibule of the gate on the outside and the porch or vestibule on the inside, the extent was fifty cubits.
16. And there were closed windows to the guardrooms or chambers and to their posts or pillars within the gate round about, and likewise to the archway or vestibule; and windows were round about facing into the court, and upon each post or pillar were palm tree [decorations].
17. Then he brought me into the outward court, and behold, there were chambers and a pavement round about the court; thirty chambers fronted on the pavement.
18. And the pavement was along by the side of the gates, answerable to the length of the gateways; this was the lower pavement.
19. Then the man measured the distance from the inner front before the lower gate to the outer front of the inner court, a hundred cubits, both on the east and on the north.
20. And the gate of the outward court which faced the north, of it he measured both the length and the breadth.
