16. the thresholds, the shuttered windows, and the galleries all around in three stories opposite the thresholds—were paneled with wood all around, from the ground up to the windows (even the windows were covered),
17. over the space above the door, as far as the inner House, and on all the wall outside all around inside and outside, by measurement.

23. The Temple and the inner Sanctuary each had double doors.
