* the porch.
The length of the porch was twenty cubits, the same as the
breadth of the temple, and the breadth eleven cubits, that is,
one cubit more than in Solomon's temple. Two bivalve, or
folding doors, each leaf of them being three cubits wide, seem
to have formed the entrance; which, with five cubits, perhaps
of brick or stone work, one each side, called "the post of the
porch," amount to sixteen cubits; and the other four cubits
may be supposed to have been the distance from these posts to
the outside walls of the temple.
