*
And behold ,
there was a wall all around the outside of the temple area ,
and the length of the measuring reed in the man '
s hand was six long cubits ,
each being a cubit and a handbreadth in length ;
so he measured the thickness of the wall ,
one reed ;
and the height ,
one reed .
*
Then he went into the gateway facing east ,
going up its steps ,
and measured the threshold of the gate ,
one reed deep ;
*
and the side rooms ,
one reed long ,
and one reed broad ;
and the space between the side rooms ,
five cubits ;
and the threshold of the gate by the vestibule of the gate at the inner end ,
one reed .
*
Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway ,
eight cubits ;
*
and its jambs ,
two cubits ;
and the vestibule of the gate was at the inner end .
*
And there were three side rooms on either side of the east gate ;
the three were of the same size ;
and the jambs on either side were of the same size .
*
Then he measured the breadth of the opening of the gateway ,
ten cubits ;
and the breadth of the gateway ,
thirteen cubits .
*
There was a barrier before the side rooms ,
one cubit on either side ;
and the side rooms were six cubits on either side .
*
Then he measured the gate from the back of the one side room to the back of the other ,
a breadth of five and twenty cubits ,
from door to door .
*
He measured also the vestibule ,
twenty cubits ;
and round about the vestibule of the gateway was the court .
*
From the front of the gate at the entrance to the end of the inner vestibule of the gate was fifty cubits .
*
And the gateway had windows round about ,
narrowing inwards into their jambs in the side rooms ,
and likewise the vestibule had windows round about inside ,
and on the jambs were palm trees .
