16 And there were narrow windows for the alcoves and for their pilasters to the inside of the gate all the way aroundx it. And likewise with respect to the porticos and windows were all the way aroundy to the inside, and on a pilaster there were images of palm trees.z

The Outer Courtyard

17 And he brought me to the outer courtyard, and there were chambers and a pavement made for the courtyard all around it, and thirty chambers were facing to the pavement. 18 And the pavement flankeda the side of the gates and all along the gates;b this describes the lower pavement. 19 And he measured the width from the front ofc the lower gate to the front ofd the outside of the inner courtyard as a hundred cubitse to the east and to the north.

Measurement of the North Gate

20 And as for the gate that had its face toward the northf of the outer courtyard, he measured its length and its width. 21 And its alcoves were three on each side,g and its pilasters and its porticos had the same measurementh as the first gate: its length was fifty cubits,i and its width was twenty-five cubits.j 22 And its windows and its porticos and its palm tree images were like the measurement of the gate that was facing toward the east;k and it hadl seven steps that go up it, and there were porticos before them.m 23 And a gate led to the inner courtyard, opposite the gate to the north and to the east, and he measured from gate to gate as a hundred cubits.n

32 And he brought me to the inner courtyard by way of the east gate, and he measured the gate as just like the other measurements.j 33 And its alcoves and its pilasters and its porticos were also like these measurements, and windows were for it and for its porticos all around;k its length was fifty cubits,l and it was twenty-five cubitsm wide. 34 And its porticos were toward the outer courtyard, and palm tree images were on its pilasters one each side,n and eight steps served as it stairs.o
