eastern (Ezekiel 11:1), corresponding to the "Beautiful Gate" of New Testament times. To judge by the

analogy of the other measurements, as compared with those of the Tabernacle, the Court of the Priests

would be 100 cubits broad, and 200 cubits long, and the Outer Court double these proportions (comp. also

Chronicles 27:3; 2 Kings 16:8; 18:15, etc.; 21:4, 5, 7; 23:4, 7, 11; 24:13; 25:9, 13-17).120
