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.

Ezekiel 41:5-11
Common English Bible
5 When he measured the wall of the temple, it was nine feet, and the side chambers that went all the way around the temple were six feet. 6 Now these side chambers adjoined each other, thirty chambers in three stories. The side chambers had a ledge in the temple wall all the way around to serve as supports, but these supports were not inserted into the temple wall itself. 7 A wide ramp ascended stage by stage to the side chambers all the way around the temple. In this way, the ascent stage by stage all around the temple added to the temple’s width. One ascended from the foundation to the top by way of the middle story. 8 Then I looked at the temple: Its roof all around rested on the side chambers. Each raised section was ten and a half feet, and the indentations between them were nine feet.[a] 9 The width of the outer wall of the side chambers was seven and a half feet. The space left free between the temple’s side chambers and 10 the other chambers was thirty feet wide all the way around the temple. 11 There were two entrances from the side chambers to the free space, one facing north, the other facing south. And the width of the place that was left free was seven and a half feet all the way around.
