The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
The entrance hall was about 30 feet long and 16 feet wide. He led me up the steps to get there, and there were pillars standing on both sides of the doorway.
God's house has room for you, complete with a grand entrance that says 'welcome home.'
