“Its recesses,
Its pilasters,
Its vestibule
Were of the same dimensions
As the others.
There were windows
All around within it,
As well as in its vestibule.
Its depth was
Fifty cubits.
Its width was
Twenty-five cubits.
Its vestibule
Faced the outer court.
Palm trees were
On its pilasters.
Its stairway
Had eight steps.”
This description of the eastern inner court is an absolute word for word description of the south inner court. The only exception was the mention of other 25 cubits by 5 cubits vestibules in the eastern inner court description. There was no mention of them here. This vestibule was 50 cubits or 80 feet long and 25 cubits wide or 40 feet wide that faced the outer court, with palm trees on its pilasters. This stairway had 8 steps also.
