The pavement was beside the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates, which was the lower pavement—establishing that the stone pavement extends from the gates and is at a lower elevation than subsequent sections. The length corresponding to the gates suggests proportional relationship; the pavement's extent matches the gates' dimensions. The reference to lower pavement indicates elevation differences that will be described further. This verse establishes that the courtyard incorporates elevation changes and proportional relationships.
