Its porches were toward the outer court; and palm tree ornaments were on its side pillars, and its stairway had eight steps.

The ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides, the border around it shall be half a cubit and its base shall be a cubit round about; and its steps shall face the east.”
