The Babylonian Exile

and he measureth the porch of the gate eight cubits, and its posts two cubits, and the porch of the gates from within,

and the little chambers of the gate eastward, three on this side, and three on that side; one measure is to them three, and one measure is to the posts, on this side and on that side.

And he measureth the breadth of the opening of the gate ten cubits, the length of the gate thirteen cubits;

and a border before the little chambers, one cubit, and one cubit is the border on this side, and the little chamber is six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

And he measureth the gate from the roof of the one little chamber to the roof of another; the breadth twenty and five cubits, opening over-against opening.

And he maketh the posts of sixty cubits, even unto the post of the court, the gate all round about;

and by the front of the gate of the entrance, by the front of the porch of the inner gate, fifty cubits;

and narrow windows are unto the little chambers, and unto their posts at the inside of the gate all round about--and so to the arches--and windows all round about are at the inside, and at the post are palm-trees.

And he bringeth me in unto the outer court, and lo, chambers and a pavement made for the court all round about--thirty chambers on the pavement--

and the pavement unto the side of the gates over-against the length of the gates is the lower pavement;

and he measureth the breadth from before the lower gate, to the front of the inner court, on the outside, a hundred cubits, eastward and northward.

As to the gate of the outer court whose front is northward, he hath measured its length and its breadth;

and its little chambers, three on this side, and three on that side, and its posts and its arches have been according to the measure of the first gate, fifty cubits its length, and the breadth five and twenty by the cubit;

and its windows, and its arches, and its palm-trees are according to the measure of the gate whose face is eastward, and by seven steps they go up on it, and its arches are before them.

And the gate of the inner court is over-against the gate at the north and at the east; and he measureth from gate unto gate, a hundred cubits.

And he causeth me to go southward, and lo, a gate southward, and he hath measured its posts and its arches according to these measures;

and windows are to it and to its arches all round about, like these windows, fifty cubits the length, and the breadth five and twenty cubits;

and seven steps are its ascent, and its arches are before them, and palm-trees are to it, one on this side, and one on that side, at its posts;

and the gate of the inner court is southward, and he measureth from gate unto gate southward, a hundred cubits.

And he bringeth me in unto the inner court by the south gate, and he measureth the south gate according to these measures;

and its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches are according to these measures, and windows are to it and to its arches all round about; fifty cubits the length, and the breadth twenty and five cubits.

As to the arches all round about, the length is five and twenty cubits, and the breadth five cubits;

and its arches are unto the outer court, and palm-trees are unto its posts, and eight steps are its ascent.

And he bringeth me in unto the inner court eastward, and he measureth the gate according to these measures;

and its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches are according to these measures: and windows are to it and to its arches all round about, the length fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits;
