And the gate of the inner court, &c.] Just before these three gates, East, North, and South, an hundred cubits from them within were there three gates into the inner Court: See vers. 27. and these three gates and their entrances up into the inner Court, were of the same dimensions, and of the same fashion that the outer gates and entrances were, vers. 28, 29. 32, 33. 35, 36. save that there were eight steps up into these, vers. 31. 37. whereas there were but seven into the outer, vers. 26. and that the wall on the sides of every gate was broken into a walke or cloister, which opened to the outer Court with arches, vers. 31. 34. 37. And these cloisters were twentie five cubits long on either side the gates, reaching eleven cubits further then the furthest wall of the chambers, and the breadth of this cloister was five cubits, which was the breadth of the little walkes, which were betweene the chambers.
