Ezekiel 41:5-11
New International Version
5 Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was six cubits thick, and each side room around the temple was four cubits[a] wide. 6 The side rooms were on three levels, one above another, thirty(A) on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports were not inserted into the wall of the temple.(B) 7 The side rooms all around the temple were wider at each successive level. The structure surrounding the temple was built in ascending stages, so that the rooms widened as one went upward. A stairway(C) went up from the lowest floor to the top floor through the middle floor.
8 I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the length of the rod, six long cubits. 9 The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick. The open area between the side rooms of the temple 10 and the priests’ rooms was twenty cubits wide all around the temple. 11 There were entrances to the side rooms from the open area, one on the north and another on the south; and the base adjoining the open area was five cubits wide all around.

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.
