From the face of the entrance of the gateway to the face of the inner vestibule of the gate, there were fifty cubits—measuring the depth of the entire gate structure from outer to inner passages. The fifty-cubit dimension establishes the gate as a substantial architectural element with considerable depth. The differentiation between outer and inner vestibules suggests a two-stage passage, with the outer vestibule serving as an initial chamber and the inner vestibule as the final chamber before entering the sacred precinct. This verse measures the total depth of gate passage.
