12 A border running along the front of the rooms on each side was eighteen inches wide, and each of the rooms was nine feet square.
13 He measured the gate through the room openings that faced each other. From the outer ceiling edge of one room to the outer ceiling edge of the other, the gate was thirty-seven and a half feet wide.
14 Next he made out the perimeter of the hallway, defined by the arches inside the gate: it was ninety feet.
15 It was seventy-five feet from the front of the outer gate to the front of the inner porch of the gate.
16 Inside the gate, all of the rooms and their arches had closed windows; there were also niches inside the porch all the way around. The arches were decorated with palm trees.
17 Then he brought me to the outer courtyard, which consisted of chambers and a pavement all the way around. Thirty chambers came up to the pavement,
18 and the pavement came up to the facades of the gates along their entire length. That was the lower pavement.
