Ezekiel 41:5-11
World English Bible
5 Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the width of every side room, four cubits, all around the house on every side. 6 The side rooms were in three stories, one over another, and thirty in order. They entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side rooms all around, that they might be supported, and not penetrate the wall of the house. 7 The side rooms were wider on the higher levels, because the walls were narrower at the higher levels. Therefore the width of the house increased upward; and so one went up from the lowest level to the highest through the middle level.
8 I saw also that the house had a raised base all around. The foundations of the side rooms were a full reed of six great cubits. 9 The thickness of the wall, which was for the side rooms, on the outside, was five cubits. That which was left was the place of the side rooms that belonged to the house. 10 Between the rooms was a width of twenty cubits around the house on every side. 11 The doors of the side rooms were toward an open area that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south. The width of the open area was five cubits all around.

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.
