17. Then he brought me into the outer court. And behold, there were chambers and a pavement, all around the court. Thirty chambers faced the pavement.
18. And the pavement ran along the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates. This was the lower pavement.
19. Then he measured the distance from the inner front of the lower gate to the outer front of the inner court, a hundred cubits on the east side and on the north side.
20. As for the gate that faced toward the north, belonging to the outer court, he measured its length and its breadth.
21. Its side rooms, three on either side, and its jambs and its vestibule were of the same size as those of the first gate. Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits.
22. And its windows, its vestibule, and its palm trees were of the same size as those of the gate that faced toward the east. And by seven steps people would go up to it, and find its vestibule before them.
23. And opposite the gate on the north, as on the east, was a gate to the inner court. And he measured from gate to gate, a hundred cubits.
24. And he led me toward the south, and behold, there was a gate on the south. And he measured its jambs and its vestibule; they had the same size as the others.
25. Both it and its vestibule had windows all around, like the windows of the others. Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits.
26. And there were seven steps leading up to it, and its vestibule was before them, and it had palm trees on its jambs, one on either side.
27. And there was a gate on the south of the inner court. And he measured from gate to gate toward the south, a hundred cubits.
28. Then he brought me to the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate. It was of the same size as the others.
29. Its side rooms, its jambs, and its vestibule were of the same size as the others, and both it and its vestibule had windows all around. Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits.
30. And there were vestibules all around, twenty-five cubits long and five cubits broad.
31. Its vestibule faced the outer court, and palm trees were on its jambs, and its stairway had eight steps.
32. Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gate. It was of the same size as the others.
33. Its side rooms, its jambs, and its vestibule were of the same size as the others, and both it and its vestibule had windows all around. Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits.
34. Its vestibule faced the outer court, and it had palm trees on its jambs, on either side, and its stairway had eight steps.
35. Then he brought me to the north gate, and he measured it. It had the same size as the others.
