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.
26
Seven steps led up to it, and its archway was in front of them; and it had palm trees on its gateposts, one on this side and one on that side.
