He measured the vestibule of the gate, which was eight cubits, and its pilasters, which were two cubits, and the vestibule of the gate was toward the temple—continuing the measurement of the eastern gate's vestibule and its supporting structures. The eight-cubit dimension of the vestibule indicates a spacious chamber before the actual gate passage. The pilasters (wall projections) of two cubits suggest structural support and decorative framing. The phrase 'toward the temple' indicates the directional orientation of the gate's opening; the vestibule faces inward toward the sacred center. This verse continues the systematic measurement of the gate's component parts.
