And the arches round about [were] five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad (40:30)

And the arches thereof [were] toward the outward court; and palm trees [were] upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it [had] eight steps (40:34)

And the posts thereof [were] toward the utter court; and palm trees [were] upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it [had] eight steps (40:37)

And the chambers and the entries thereof [were] by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering (40:38)

And in the porch of the gate [were] two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering (40:39)

And the chamber whose prospect [is] toward the north [is] for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these [are] the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the Lord to minister unto him (40:46)
