Now there was a wall all around the outside of the temple. In the man's hand was a measuring rod six cubits long, each being a cubit and a handbreadth; and he measured the width of the wall structure, one rod; and the height, one rod.
6
Then he went to the gateway which faced east; and he went up its stairs and measured the threshold of the gateway, which was one rod wide, and the other threshold was one rod wide.
7
Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide; between the gate chambers was a space of five cubits; and the threshold of the gateway by the vestibule of the inside gate was one rod.
8
He also measured the vestibule of the inside gate, one rod.
9
Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, eight cubits; and the gateposts, two cubits. The vestibule of the gate was on the inside.
10
In the eastern gateway were three gate chambers on one side and three on the other; the three were all the same size; also the gateposts were of the same size on this side and that side.
11
He measured the width of the entrance to the gateway, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
12
There was a space in front of the gate chambers, one cubit on this side and one cubit on that side; the gate chambers were six cubits on this side and six cubits on that side.
13
Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the other; the width was twenty-five cubits, as door faces door.
14
He measured the gateposts, sixty cubits high, and the court all around the gateway extended to the gatepost.
15
From the front of the entrance gate to the front of the vestibule of the inner gate was fifty cubits.
16
There were beveled window frames in the gate chambers and in their intervening archways on the inside of the gateway all around, and likewise in the vestibules. There were windows all around on the inside. And on each gatepost were palm trees.
17
Then he brought me into the outer court; and there were chambers and a pavement made all around the court; thirty chambers faced the pavement.
18
The pavement was by the side of the gateways, corresponding to the length of the gateways; this was the lower pavement.
19
Then he measured the width from the front of the lower gateway to the front of the inner court exterior, one hundred cubits toward the east and the north.
20
On the outer court was also a gateway facing north, and he measured its length and its width.
21
Its gate chambers, three on this side and three on that side, its gateposts and its archways, had the same measurements as the first gate; its length was fifty cubits and its width twenty-five cubits.
22
Its windows and those of its archways, and also its palm trees, had the same measurements as the gateway facing east; it was ascended by seven steps, and its archway was in front of it.
23
A gate of the inner court was opposite the northern gateway, just as the eastern gateway; and he measured from gateway to gateway, one hundred cubits.
24
After that he brought me toward the south, and there a gateway was facing south; and he measured its gateposts and archways according to these same measurements.
25
There were windows in it and in its archways all around like those windows; its length was fifty cubits and its width twenty-five cubits.
