All the courts were surrounded by a wall and were raised above the level of the Temple Mount by twelve stairs - each stair the height of half a cubit. The width of the courts was one hundred and thirty five cubits. The length of all the courts was three hundred and twenty two cubits, of which one hundred and eighty seven cubits was the length of the "Camp of the Divine Presence", and one hundred and thirty five cubits, the length of the WomenÕs Court.
