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.

Gateways to the Inner Courtyard
28 Then the man took me to the south gateway leading into the inner courtyard. He measured it, and it had the same measurements as the other gateways. 29 Its guard alcoves, dividing walls, and entry room were the same size as those in the others. It also had windows along its walls and in the entry room. And like the others, the gateway passage was 87 1⁄2 feet long and 43 3⁄4 feet wide. 30 (The entry rooms of the gateways leading into the inner courtyard were 14 feet[a] across and 43 3⁄4 feet wide.) 31 The entry room to the south gateway faced into the outer courtyard. It had palm tree decorations on its columns, and there were eight steps leading to its entrance.
