The entrance into the outer court seems to have been through a
porch with doors at both ends; and on each side of this porch
were three small chambers, or rooms, for the use of the
porters, a reed square in size, with a passage of five cubits
between them. The common cubit, termed the "cubit of a man,"
(De 3:11,) was about 18; inches; but the cubit used by the
angel was, as we learn from ch. 43:13, "a cubit and a hand
breadth," or about three inches more than the common cubit,
that is 21; inches. Hence the measuring reed, which was "six
cubits long, by the cubit and the hand breadth," (ver. 5,)
must have been about 10芟feet
