The Inner Courtyard

²⁸ Then the man brought me through the south gateway into the inner courtyard.

There were windows all around the gateway and its porch. The gateway was eighty-seven and one-half feet long and forty-four feet wide. ³⁰ Each porch of each inner gateway was about forty-four feet long and about nine feet wide. ³¹ The inner south gateway’s porch faced the outer courtyard. Carvings of palm trees were on its side walls, and its stairway had eight steps.

Carvings of palm trees were on its inner walls on each side, and its stairway had eight steps.
