He also made post measurements—sixty cubits—and the gate by the post extended to the courtyard—providing the length measurement from the exterior post to the inner courtyard boundary. The sixty-cubit measurement is one of the largest dimensions provided, suggesting the gate is a substantial approach to the sacred space. The extension to the courtyard indicates that the gate's function is to separate the outside world from the beginning of the sacred precinct. This verse completes the measurement of the eastern gate's approach.
