⁷ And every room for the guards was one reed long and one reed broad, and the space between the guardrooms or lodges was five cubits. And the threshold of the gate by the porch or vestibule of the gateway within was one reed.

⁸ He measured also the porch or vestibule of the gate toward the house [of the Lord], one reed.
