The south entryway

24 Then he brought me through the south entryway into the outer courtyard, and he measured it. It measured the same as the other entryways. Its alcoves, its dividing walls between the alcoves, and its entry room measured the same as the ones on the other sides. 25 The alcoves and the entry room had narrow windows along the walls, like on the other sides. The length of the outer opening of the entryway to the far end of the entry room was was ◄87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters► and the entryway was ◄43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters► wide. 26 There were seven steps up to the outer threshold/opening for the entryway, and an entry room was ◄opposite it/at the end of the entryway facing the courtyard►. It also had carvings of palm trees on the dividing walls that were between the alcoves. 27 The inner courtyard also had an entryway on the south side. He measured from that entryway to the entrance on the south side of the outer courtyard; it was also ◄175 feet/53 meters►.
