The side rooms opened into this area, with one entrance on the north and another on the south. The open area was five cubits wide all around.

In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary on all the walls, spaced evenly around the inner and outer sanctuary,

Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary from the floor to the space above the entrance.

The building with the door facing north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.

In front of the chambers was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.

…with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that were on the north. They had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions.

And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, there was a door in front of the walkway that was parallel to the wall extending eastward.

Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms.
