if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have carried them captive, and pray toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name:

The gate of the outer court whose prospect is toward the north, he measured its length and its breadth.

The wall that was outside by the side of the rooms, toward the outer court before the rooms, its length was fifty cubits.

In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were rooms.
