And he measured the wall of the temple as six cubits,[a] and the width of the side room as four cubits[b] all along the outside wall for the temple all around the wall.[c] And the side rooms were side by side[d] in three stories and a total of thirty rooms,[e] and there were offsets[f] in the wall, which was for the temple for the side rooms, all the way around[g] to be supports, and so they were not supports extending into the wall of the temple. And each level widened, and it went around[h] upward[i] to the side rooms for the structure that surrounds[j] the temple upward[k] all the way around,[l] therefore the width increased to the temple upward,[m] and thus the lower level goes up to the upper level by means of the middle story.

And I saw for the temple a platform all the way around[n] the foundations of the side rooms; it was the length of a full reed, six cubits long.[o] The width of the outside wall, which was for the side room to the outside, was five cubits,[p] and a space that was set between the side rooms, which was for the temple 10 and between the chambers was the width of twenty cubits[q] all around the temple, all the way around[r] it. 11 And the doorway of the side room faced[s] the open area; one doorway faced[t] the north,[u] and one doorway was to the south, and the width of the place of the open area was five cubits[v] all around.[w]
