9. When he measured the porch of the gate, it was eight cubits; its pillars were two cubits. The porch of the gate faced the House.
10. Now the guard chambers of the east gate were three on this side, and three on the other side—the three had the same measurement. The side pillars had the same measure on this side and on that side.
11. When he measured the width of the entrance of the gate, it was ten cubits, and the length of the gate was 13 cubits.
12. A barrier wall was in front of the guard chambers, one cubit on each side. Each chamber was six cubits on each side.
13. When he measured the gate from the roof of the one chamber to the roof of the other, the width was 25 cubits, door facing door.
14. Then he did the pillars—60 cubits. A gateway extended all around to the pillar of the courtyard.
15. Now from the front of the gate of the entrance to the front of the inner porch of the gate measured 50 cubits.
16. There were shuttered windows toward the chambers and toward their pillars within the surrounding gate, and likewise the porches had windows all around inside. On each pillar were palm trees.
17. Then he brought me to the outer court. Behold, there were rooms and pavement, made for the surrounding court, with 30 rooms along the pavement.
18. The pavement was by the side of the gates, as wide as the gates were long. This was the lower pavement.
19. He measured the width from the front of the lower gate to the exterior front of the inner court—it was 100 cubits, to the east and to the north.
20. Next he measured the length and width of the gate of the outer court facing toward the north.
21. Its guard chambers were three on this side and three on that side. Its pillars and its porches had the same measurements as the first gate—50 cubits long and 25 cubits wide.
22. Its windows, porches and palm trees were the same measurements as the gate facing toward the east. Its stairway had seven steps, and its porch was in front of them.
