Then he measured the width from the face of the lower gate to the exterior of the inner court, and it was a hundred cubits—establishing the width of the outer courtyard and the distance from the lower gate to the inner boundary. The hundred-cubit measurement establishes the courtyard as a spacious area. The specification of inner court boundary suggests that there is an elevated inner section; the vision includes multiple concentric zones of increasing holiness. This verse measures the outer courtyard's width.
