Or, "suitable to them," that is, to the arches of the east gate. The north gate into the outward court, and every thing belonging to it, were exactly the same as the east gate.

43¾ feet .... 8¾ feet <0520 02568> [five cubits.]
Instead of five cubits, it seems evident, from the parallel places, that we should read twenty-five: the word {ˆsrim} appears to have been lost out of the text.

a pool <2861> [market. or, gate.]
a pool <2861> [pool.]
Bethzatha <964> [Bethesda.]
The supposed remains of the pool of Bethesda are situated on the east of Jerusalem, contiguous on one side to St. Stephen's gate, and on the other to the area of the temple. Maundrell states that, "it is 120 paces long, and forty broad, and at least eight deep, but void of water. At its west end it discovers some old arches, now damned up. These some will have to be porches, in which sat that multitude of lame, halt, and blind. But it is not likely, for instead of five, there are but three."
