Verse Meaning

Each guardroom was six cubits (10 feet) square. Evidently each one had a one-cubit-thick (1foot8 inch) low wall that defined each of these rooms as separate from the hallway. This low wall or ledge ran on each side of the hallway in front of the guardrooms. These rooms sometimes also served as meeting places for the city elders.
