Contextual Overview
5 And, behold, a wall on the outside of the house all around. And a measuring reed was in the man's hand, six cubits, with a cubit and a span. So he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed. 6 And he came to the gate which faced eastward, and he went up its steps and measured the threshold of the gate, one reed wide, even the one threshold, one reed wide. 7 And a room, one reed long and one reed wide, and between the rooms were five cubits. And the threshold of the gate from beside the porch of the gate, from the house, was one reed. 8 And he measured the porch of the gate from the house, one reed. 9 And he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its pillars, two cubits, also the porch of the gate from the house. 10 And the gate rooms eastward were three from here, and three from there, one measure to the three of them; and one measure was to the pillars, from here and from there. 11 And he measured the breadth of the gate opening, ten cubits; the length of the gate was thirteen cubits. 12 And the border in front of the rooms was one cubit; and the border from here, one cubit. And the room was six cubits from here, and six cubits from there. 13 And he measured the gate of the room from roof to roof, twenty five cubits wide, door to door. 14 He also made the pillars, sixty cubits, even to the court pillar, from the gate all around.
