And the length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, and there were eight steps to go up to it. And there were pillars in the fronts: one on this side, and another on that side.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Longitudinem autem vestibuli viginti cubitorum, et latitudinem undecim cubitorum, et octo gradibus ascendebatur ad eam. Et columnæ erant in frontibus : una hinc, et altera inde.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ τὸ μῆκος τοῦ αἰλὰμ πηχῶν εἴκοσι, καὶ τὸ εὖρος πηχῶν δώδεκα· καὶ ἐπὶ δέκα ἀναβαθμῶν ἀνέβαινον ἐπ᾽ αὐτό, καὶ στύλοι ἦσαν ἐπὶ τὸ αἰλάμ, εἷς ἔνθεν καὶ εἷς ἐντεῦθεν.
- Hebrew (WLC)

Haydock's commentary
Eleven. 3 Kings vi., says ten. The exact breadth was ten and a half, (Villalpand; Tirinus) or what the pavement covered is there specified according to some. Roman Septuagint has "twelve." But the edition of Basil reads more correctly, ten. (Calmet)
Yet both ten and eleven may be right, if this temple be different. (Haydock)
Eight. Hebrew seems corrupt, a being substituted for a. "They mounted by ten steps," as the Septuagint read. Aquila has eleven; Symmachus [has] eight.
Pillars of brass, 3 Kings vii. 15. (Calmet)
As they are not measured, they were like Solomon's. (Worthington)
