12. And there was a low wall about 21 inches high in front of each room. The rooms were 10½ 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 44 feet from one door to the opposite door.
14. The man also measured the porch. It was about 35 feet wide. The courtyard was around the porch.
15. From the front of the outer side of the gate to the front of the porch of the inner side of the gate was 87½ feet.
16. The rooms and porch had small windows on all sides. The windows were narrower on the side facing the gateway. Carvings of palm trees were on each inner wall of the rooms.
17. Then the man brought me into the outer courtyard. I saw rooms and a pavement of stones. Thirty rooms were along the edge of the paved walkway.
18. The pavement ran alongside the gates. It was as long as the gates were wide. This was the lower pavement.
19. Then the man measured from the outer wall to the inner wall. The outer court between these two walls was 175 feet on the east and on the north.
20. The man measured the length and width of the gate leading to the outer courtyard. It faced north.
21. It had three rooms on each side. Its inner walls and its porch measured the same as the first gate. It was 87½ feet long. And it was 44 feet wide.
22. Its windows, porch and carvings of palm trees measured the same as the east gate. Seven steps went up to the gate. And the gate’s porch was opposite them.
23. The inner courtyard had a gate across from the northern gate like the one on the east. The man measured it and found it was 175 feet from inner gate to outer gate.
24. Then the man led me south. I saw a gate facing south. He measured its inner walls and its porch. They measured the same as the other gates.
