The Inner Southern Court
28 Next, he brought me to the inner courtyard by way of the south-facing gate. He measured the south-facing gate as having measurements identical to the others. 29 The measurements of its guardhouses, its side pillars, and its porches were identical to the others. The gate and its porches contained windows all around. The length of the porch[a] was 50 cubits[b] and its width was 25 cubits.[c] 30 Porches lay all around, measuring 25 cubits[d] long and five cubits[e] wide, 31 leading to the outer courtyard. Palm tree ornaments were engraved on its side pillars. The stairway leading to it contained eight steps.

Gates to the Inner Courtyard
28 And he brought me to the inner courtyard through[a] the gate of the south, and he measured the south gate, and it had measurements like the others.[b] 29 And its alcoves and its pilasters and its porticos were just like these measurements. And it had windows for it and for its porticos[c] all the way around,[d] fifty cubits[e] along[f] its length, and twenty-five cubits[g] wide. 30 And there were porticos all the way around[h] its length, twenty-five cubits;[i] and its width was five cubits.[j] 31 And its porticos were to the outer courtyard, and palm tree images were on its pilasters, and eight steps were for its stairs.
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.[k] 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;[l] its length was fifty cubits,[m] and it was twenty-five cubits[n] wide. 34 And its porticos were toward the outer courtyard, and palm tree images were on its pilasters one each side,[o] and eight steps served as it stairs.[p]
35 And he brought me to the gate of the north, and he measured it; and he measured the same measurements as these others,[q] 36 its alcoves, its pilasters and porticos, and its windows[r] all the way around,[s] and a length of fifty cubits[t] and twenty-five cubits wide.[u] 37 And its pilasters faced the outer courtyard,[v] and it had palm tree images on its pilasters[w] on each side;[x] and eight steps served as its stairs.
