“Then he led me
Toward the south.
There was a gate
On the south.
He measured
Its pilasters,
With its vestibule.
They had the same dimensions
As the others.
There were windows
All around in it
In its vestibule.
They were
Like the windows
Of the others.
Its depth was
fifty cubits.
Its width was
Twenty-five cubits.
There were seven steps
Leading up to it.
Its vestibule
Was on the inside.
It had palm trees
On its pilasters,
One on either side.
There was a gate
On the south
Of the inner court.
He measured
From gate to gate
Toward the south,
A hundred cubits.”
The southern gate and its vestibule was similar to the northern and eastern gates and vestibules mentioned above. The bronze man measured and found out that these southern pilasters and vestibules had the same dimensions as the northern and eastern vestibules. The southern windows were also the same as on the north and east side. This southern vestibule was 50 cubits deep and 25 cubits wide, the same as the northern gate, about 80 feet by 40 feet. The 7 steps were the same as on the other sides, as well as the palm trees on the pilasters. This south side also had the double gate system, so that is was about 100 cubits, 160 feet, from this southern gate to the inner court, just like the other 2 situations.
