Rooms North of the Temple
42 Then he led me out into the outer courtyard which was north of the temple building, and he brought me to a set of rooms which bordered on the south side of the restricted area and was north of the structure of the temple building.[a] 2 This building north of the temple, which had doors facing north, was one hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.[b]
3 On each side of the north courtyard, across from the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner courtyard on the south side and across from the pavement that belonged to the outer courtyard on the north side, two sets of balconies faced each other.[c] Each was three stories high.[d]
