The Wall, Side Chambers, and West Building

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