17 Then he brought me into ^athe outer court; and there were ^bchambers and a pavement made all around the court; ^cthirty chambers faced the pavement.  ‡

18 The pavement was by the side of the gateways, corresponding to the length of the gateways; this was the lower pavement.

20 On the outer court was also a gateway facing north, and he measured its length and its width.

21 Its gate chambers, three on this side and three on that side, its gateposts and its archways, had the same measurements as the first gate; its length was fifty cubits and its width twenty-five cubits.
