And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed.
Each small room was about 10 feet long and 10 feet wide, with about 8-foot gaps between them. The entrance threshold by the inner porch was also about 10 feet.
God cares about the details, even down to exact measurements in his perfect design.
