And from the forefront of the gate at the entrance unto the forefront of the {Or, porch of the inner gate}inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.
And there were closed windows to the lodges, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the {Or, colonnade The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain.}arches; and windows were round about inward; and upon each post were palm-trees.
Then brought he me into the outer court; and, lo, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement.
