Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

He measured also the porch of the gate within,
one reed. This was either the measure of the breadth of the porch between the opposite chambers on both sides; or rather of the length of that space, which was between the third little chamber and the last gate; and such a space must be supposed to be between the first gate and the first little chamber, which space were three yards and a half; which shows how spacious the churches of Christ will be, and how exactly measured.

The porch - The posts which were joined together at the top by an arch, and so made the portico.
