The North Facing Outer Court
20 Next, he measured the length and width of the outer north-facing gate to the courtyard. 21 It was equipped[a] with three guardhouses on each side. Its side pillars and porches had measurements identical to the first gate: 50 cubits[b] long and 25 cubits[c] wide. 22 Its windows, porches, and palm tree ornaments had measurements identical to the east-facing gate. Reached by seven ascending[d] steps, its porch lay[e] to the front of the steps. 23 From a gate that stood opposite the northern gate he measured 100 cubits,[f] as well as from the eastern gate.

The North Gate
20 Then he measured the length and width of the north gate, leading into the outer court. 21 Its alcoves(A)—three on each side—its projecting walls and its portico(B) had the same measurements as those of the first gateway. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 22 Its openings, its portico(C) and its palm tree decorations had the same measurements as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them.(D) 23 There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured from one gate to the opposite one; it was a hundred cubits.(E)
