7 The alcoves for the guards were one rod long and one rod wide, and the projecting walls between the alcoves were five cubits thick. And the threshold of the gate next to the portico facing the temple was one rod deep.

9 it was eight cubits deep and its jambs were two cubits thick. The portico of the gateway faced the temple.

11 Then he measured the width of the entrance of the gateway; it was ten cubits and its length was thirteen cubits.
