[24] me toward  the south,  and behold a gate  toward  the south:  and he measured  the posts  thereof and the arches  thereof according to these measures.  [25] And there were windows  in it and in the arches  thereof round about,  like those windows:  the length  was fifty  cubits,  and the breadth  five  and twenty  cubits.  [26] And there were seven  steps  to go up  to it, and the arches  thereof were before  them: and it had palm trees,  one  on that side, upon the posts  thereof. [27] And there was a gate  in the inner  court  toward  the south:  and he measured  from gate  toward  the south  an hundred  cubits.  [28] And he brought  me to the inner  court  by the south  gate:  and he measured  the south  gate  according to these measures;  [29] And the little chambers  thereof, and the posts  thereof, and the arches  thereof, according to these measures:  and there were windows  in it and in the arches  thereof round about:  it was fifty  cubits  long,  and five  and twenty  cubits  broad.  [30] And the arches  round about  were five  and twenty  cubits  long,  and five  cubits  broad.  [31] And the arches  thereof were toward the utter  court;  and palm trees  were upon the posts  thereof: and the going up  to it had eight  steps.  [32] And he brought  me into the inner  court  toward  the east:  and he measured  the gate  according to these measures.  [33] And the little chambers  thereof, and the posts  thereof, and the arches  thereof, were according to these measures:  and there were windows  therein and in the arches  thereof round about:  it was fifty  cubits  long,  and five  and twenty  cubits  broad.  [34] And the arches  thereof were toward the outward  court;  and palm trees  were upon the posts  thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up  to it had eight  steps.  [35] And he brought  me to the north  gate,  and measured  it according to these measures;  [36] The little chambers  thereof, the posts  thereof, and the arches  thereof, and the windows  to it round about:  the length  was fifty  cubits,  and the breadth  five  and twenty  cubits.  [37] And the posts  thereof were toward the utter  court;  and palm trees  were upon the posts  thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up  to it had eight  steps.  [38] And the chambers  and the entries  thereof were by the posts  of the gates,  where they washed  the burnt offering.  [39] And in the porch  of the gate  were two  tables  on that side, to slay  thereon the burnt offering  and the sin offering  and the trespass offering.  [40] And at the side  without,  as one goeth up  to the entry  of the north  gate,  were two  tables;  and on the other  side,  which was at the porch  of the gate,  were two  tables.  [41] Four  tables  were on this side, and four  tables  on that side, by the side  of the gate;  eight  tables,  whereupon they slew  [42] And the four  tables  were of hewn  stone  for the burnt offering,  of a cubit  and an half  long,  and a cubit  and an half  broad,  and one  cubit  high:  whereupon also they laid  the instruments  wherewith they slew  the burnt offering  and the sacrifice.  [43] And within  were hooks,  an  hand  broad, fastened  round about:  and upon the tables  was the flesh  of the offering.  [44] And without  the inner  gate  were the chambers  of the singers  in the inner  court,  which was at the side  of the north  gate;  and their prospect  was toward  the south:  one  at the side  of the east  gate  having the prospect  toward  the north.  [45] And he said  unto me, This  chamber,  whose prospect  is toward  the south,  is for the priests,  the keepers  of the charge  of the house.
