Ezekiel 41:5-11

Expanded Bible

⁵ Then the man measured the wall of the ·Temple [^Lhouse], which was ·ten and one-half feet [^Lsix cubits] thick. There were side rooms ·seven feet [^Lfour cubits] wide all around the Temple. ⁶ The side rooms were on three different stories, each above the other, with thirty rooms on each story. All around the Temple walls there were ledges for the side rooms. The upper rooms rested on the ledges but were not attached to the Temple walls. ⁷ The side rooms around the Temple were wider on each higher story, so rooms were wider on the top story. ·A stairway went [or So one went] up from the lowest story to the highest through the middle story.

⁸ I also saw that the Temple had a raised ·base [platform] all around. Its edge was the foundation for the side rooms, and it was ·ten and one-half feet thick [^La full rod/stick of six cubits]. ⁹ The outer wall of the side rooms was ·about nine feet [^Lfive cubits] thick. There was an open area between the side rooms of the Temple ¹⁰ and some other rooms. It was ·thirty-five feet [^Ltwenty cubits] wide and went all around the Temple. ¹¹ The side rooms had doors which led to the open area around the outside of the Temple. One door faced north, and the other faced south. The open area was ·about nine feet [^Lfive cubits] wide all around.
