And behold, I saw a wall on the outside of the house round about: and in the man’s hand was a reed to measure with, of six cubits long, by the cubit, and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building with one reed, and the height with one reed.

Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the East, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the [a]post of the gate, which was one reed broad, and [b]the other post of the gate, which was one reed broad.

And every chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad, and between the chambers were five cubits: and the post of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed.

He measured also the porch of the gate within with one reed.

Then measured he the porch of the gate of eight cubits and the [c]posts thereof, of two cubits, and the porch of the gate was inward.

10 And the Chambers of the gate Eastward, were three on this side, and three on that side: they three were of one measure, and the posts had one measure on this side, and one on that side.

11 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate ten cubits, and the height of the gate thirteen cubits.

12 The space also before the chambers was one cubit on this side and the space was one cubit on that side, and the chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

13 He measured then the gate from the roof of a chamber to the top of the gate: the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door against door.

14 He made also posts of threescore cubits, and the posts of the court, and of the gate, had one measure round about.

15 And upon the forefront of the entry of the gate unto the forefront of the porch of the gate within were fifty cubits.

16 And there were narrow windows in the chambers, and in their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and the windows went round about within: and upon the posts were palm trees.
