of a cubit and a handbreadth each: so he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed. 040:006 Then came he to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up the steps of it: and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other threshold, one reed broad. 040:007 Every lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad; and [the space] between the lodges was five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed. 040:008 He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed. 040:009 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts of it, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house. 040:010 The lodges 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 on that side. 040:011 He measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits; 040:012 and a border before the lodges, one cubit [on this side], and a border, one cubit on that side; and the lodges, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side. 040:013 He measured the gate from the roof of the one lodge to the roof of the other, a breadth of twenty-five cubits; door against door. 040:014 He made also posts, sixty cubits; and the court [reached] to the posts, round about the gate. 040:015 [From] the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits. 040:016 There were closed windows to the lodges, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches; and windows were round about inward; and on [each] post were palm trees. 040:017 Then brought he me into the outer court; and behold, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court round about: thirty chambers were on the pavement. 040:018 The pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement. 040:019 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, one hundred cubits, [both] on the east and on the north. 040:020 The gate of the outer court whose prospect is toward the north, he measured the length of it and the breadth of it. 040:021 The lodges of it were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts of it and the arches of it were after the measure of the first gate: the length of it was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits. 040:022 The windows of it, and the arches of it, and the palm trees of it, were after the measure of the gate whose prospect
