He measured the gate from the roof of one guard chamber to the roof of the next, and the width was twenty-five cubits from one side to the other, entrance to entrance—measuring across the gate from one guard chamber to the opposite one. The twenty-five-cubit span establishes the overall width of the gate structure, including both guard chambers and passages. The measurement from roof to roof suggests a cross-sectional view and establishes the gate as a substantial structure. This verse provides the total width of the gate complex.
