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.

Outside the Temple
5 Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was 10½ feet[a] thick. The width of the side rooms all around the temple was seven feet.[b](A) 6 The side rooms were arranged one above another in three stories of 30 rooms each.[c] There were ledges on the wall of the temple all around to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be in the temple wall itself.(B) 7 The side rooms surrounding the temple widened at each successive story, for the structure surrounding the temple went up by stages. This was the reason for the temple’s broadness as it rose. And so, one would go up from the lowest story to the highest by means of the middle one.[d](C)
8 I saw that the temple had a raised platform surrounding it; this foundation for the side rooms was 10½ feet high.[e](D) 9 The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was 8¾ feet.[f] The free space between the side rooms of the temple 10 and the outer chambers was 35 feet[g] wide all around the temple.(E) 11 The side rooms opened into the free space, one entrance toward the north and another to the south. The area of free space was 8¾ feet[h] wide all around.
