And from the face of the gate of the entrance, &c.] That is, from the outward gate as you went into the porch, and was to the east, so called from people’s passing and repassingf694 in it; so Jarchi takes it to be the eastern gate; the Targum calls it the middle gate: unto the face of the porch of the inner gate; which opened at the other end of the porch, into the outward court, and was to the west: from gate to gate were fifty cubits; as he measured the breadth of the porch before, (<264013>Ezekiel 40:13), here the length; there were three chambers six cubits long, which made eighteen; and between each chamber were five cubits, which were ten cubits; and the space between the chambers and the gates at each end were six cubits each; (<264008>Ezekiel 40:8), which make twelve more; and then allow ten cubits for the thickness of both walls of each gate, and there will be fifty cubits, or twenty nine yards and half a foot.
