[40:5] What I saw was the Temple, and there was a wall around it. The man took his measuring rod, which was 10 feet long, and measured the wall. It was 10 feet high and 10 feet thick.
[40:6] Then he went to the gateway that faced east. He went up the steps, and at the top he measured the entrance; it was 10 feet deep.
[40:7] Beyond it there was a passageway, which had three guardrooms on each side. Each of the rooms was square, 10 feet on each side, and the walls between them were 8 feet thick. Beyond the guardrooms there was a passageway 10 feet long that led to an entrance room which faced the Temple.
[40:10] These guardrooms on each side of the passageway were all the same size, and the walls between them were all of the same thickness.)
[40:11] Next, the man measured the width of the passageway in the gateway. It was 22 feet altogether, and the space between the open gates was 16 feet.
[40:12] In front of each of the guardrooms there was a low wall 20 inches high and 20 inches thick. (The rooms were 10 feet square.)
[40:13] Then he measured the distance from the back wall of one room to the back wall of the room across the passageway from it, and it was 42 feet.
[40:14] The room at the far end led out to a courtyard. He measured that room and found it was 34 feet wide.
[40:15] The total length of the gateway from the outside wall of the gate to the far side of the last room was 84 feet.
[40:16] There were small openings in the outside walls of all the rooms and also in the inner walls between the rooms. There were palm trees carved on the inner walls that faced the passageway.
