fifty cubits] From the first entrance in at the East-gate, or through the wall of separation before you come into the open Court, you walked sixty cubits or so many yards hemmed in with buildings and cloisters on either hand, as vers. 14. Nine and twenty and an halfe of these cubits with buildings and cloisters before them, and the rest of them with cloisters onely without buildings at their back: Now whereas he speaketh here but of fifty cubits [and so vers. 25. 33, &c. at the other gates] it is to be understood thus, that of those sixty cubits mentioned before, which was the space betweene the entry in at the East-gate and the entrance into the Court; the tenne cubits that lay next to the Court were taken up with a porch which faced that at the East-gate, and so from the face of the gate of the entrance, as the Text saith, unto the face of this porch of the inner gate, were onely fiftie cubits, and the porch it selfe tenne cubits; and so you come to the inner gate, or opening into the open Court. This porch stood just thirty seven cubits from the other, and was just square, or ten cubits long, and so much broad, and had a raile or some such partition so at the back of it on either side, as the other porch had, and at the same distance from it that the other was.
