11 Next, the man measured the width of the passageway, and it was six and a half metres, but the two doors of the gate were only five metres wide.
12 In front of the guardrooms, which were three metres square, was a railing about fifty centimetres high and fifty centimetres thick.
13 The man measured the distance from the back wall of one of these rooms to the same spot in the room directly across the passageway, and it was twelve and a half metres.
14 He measured the entrance room at the far end of the passageway, and it was ten metres wide.
15 Finally, he measured the total length of the passageway, from the outer wall to the entrance room, and it was twenty-five metres.
16 The three walls in the guardrooms had small windows in them, just like the ones in the entrance room. The walls along the passageway were decorated with carvings of palm trees.
17 The man then led me through the passageway and into the outer courtyard of the temple, where I saw thirty rooms built around the outside of the courtyard. These side rooms were built against the outer wall, and in front of them was a pavement that circled the courtyard.
