12 In front of each of the guardrooms there was a low wall 20 inches high and 20 inches thick. (The rooms were 10 feet square.)
13 Then he measured the distance from the back wall of one room to the back wall of the room across the passageway from it, and it was 42 feet.
14 The room at the far end led out to a courtyard. He measured that room and found it was 34 feet wide.
15 The total length of the gateway from the outside wall of the gate to the far side of the last room was 84 feet.
16 There were small openings in the outside walls of all the rooms and also in the inner walls between the rooms. There were palm trees carved on the inner walls that faced the passageway.
17 The man took me through the gateway into the courtyard. There were thirty rooms built against the outer wall, and in front of them there was an area paved with stones,
18 which extended around the courtyard. This outer courtyard was at a lower level than the inner courtyard.
