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.
