Ezekiel 41:5-11
Expanded Bible
5 Then the man measured the wall of the ·Temple [L house], which was ·ten and one-half feet [L six cubits] thick. There were side rooms ·seven feet [L four cubits] wide all around the Temple. 6 The side rooms were on three different stories, each above the other, with thirty rooms on each story. All around the Temple walls there were ledges for the side rooms. The upper rooms rested on the ledges but were not attached to the Temple walls. 7 The side rooms around the Temple were wider on each higher story, so rooms were wider on the top story. ·A stairway went [or So one went] up from the lowest story to the highest through the middle story.
8 I also saw that the Temple had a raised ·base [platform] all around. Its edge was the foundation for the side rooms, and it was ·ten and one-half feet thick [L a full rod/stick of six cubits]. 9 The outer wall of the side rooms was ·about nine feet [L five cubits] thick. There was an open area between the side rooms of the Temple 10 and some other rooms. It was ·thirty-five feet [L twenty cubits] wide and went all around the Temple. 11 The side rooms had doors which led to the open area around the outside of the Temple. One door faced north, and the other faced south. The open area was ·about nine feet [L five cubits] wide all around.

Ezekiel 41:5-11
New American Standard Bible
5 Then he measured the wall of the [a]temple, six cubits; and the width of the (A)side chambers, four cubits, all around the house on every side. 6 (B)The side chambers were in three stories, [b]one above another, and [c]thirty in each story; and [d]the side chambers (C)extended to the wall which stood on [e]their inward side all around, so that they could be attached, but not be attached to the wall of the temple itself. 7 And the side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the (D)structure surrounding the temple went upward by stages on all sides of the temple, for that reason the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and so one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the [f]second story. 8 I saw also that the house had a raised [g]platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full [h]rod of (E)six [i]long cubits in height. 9 The [j]thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the (F)free space between the side chambers belonging to the temple 10 and the outer (G)chambers was twenty cubits in width around the temple on every side. 11 The [k]doorways of the side [l]chambers toward the (H)free space consisted of one doorway toward the north, and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the (I)free space was five cubits all around.
