Next, he measured the pilasters—105 feet. The gate extended around to the pilaster of the court.

The distance from the front of the gate at the entrance to the front of the gate’s portico on the inside was 87½ feet.

Then he measured the distance from the front of the lower gate to the exterior front of the inner court; it was 175 feet. This was the east; next the north is described.

Its three recesses on each side, its pilasters, and its portico had the same measurements as the first gate: 87½ feet long and 43¾ feet wide.

The inner court had a gate facing the north gate, like the one on the east. He measured the distance from gate to gate; it was 175 feet.

Both the gate and its portico had windows all around, like the other windows. It was 87½ feet long and 43¾ feet wide.

The altar was made of wood, 5¼ feet high and 3½ feet long. It had corners, and its length and sides were of wood. The man told me, “This is the table that stands before the Lord.”

Along the length of the chambers, which was 175 feet, there was an entrance on the north; the width was 87½ feet.

You saw the feet and toes, partly of a potter’s fired clay and partly of iron—it will be a divided kingdom, though some of the strength of iron will be in it. You saw the iron mixed with clay,

and that the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly fired clay—part of the kingdom will be strong, and part will be brittle.
