Ezekiel 41:5-11

International Standard Version

⁵ Next, he measured the Temple walls at six cubits^[a] high and the width of the side chambers at four cubits^[b] around all four sides of the Temple. ⁶ The side chambers consisted of three stories, each above the other, with 30 chambers in each story. The side chambers extended out from the wall that faced the inside of the chambers where the chambers were fastened together, but the chamber walls were not fastened directly into the Temple walls themselves. ⁷ The side chambers surrounding the Temple were wider at each successive story, because the surrounding structure ascended by proportional increments as it rose, ascending to the highest story by going up successively from the lowest.

⁸ I observed a raised platform that surrounded the Temple, and the foundations of the side chambers were a full six cubits^[c] deep. ⁹ The outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits^[d] thick, and there was an empty space between the Temple’s side chambers ¹⁰ and its outer chambers 20 cubits^[e] in width, surrounding the Temple on each side. ¹¹ The side chamber doorway facing the free space contained a single north-facing doorway and a second south-facing doorway. The width of the free space was five cubits^[f] all around the perimeter.^[g]
