Ezekiel 42 — Context

1

Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me to the chamber which was opposite the separate area and opposite the building toward the north.

2

Along the length, which was a hundred cubits, was the north door; the width was fifty cubits.

3

Opposite the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery corresponding to gallery in three stories.

4

Before the chambers was an inner walk ten cubits wide, a way of one hundred cubits; and their openings were on the north.

5

Now the upper chambers were smaller because the galleries took more space away from them than from the lower and middle ones in the building.

6

For they were in three stories and had no pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper chambers were set back from the ground upward, more than the lower and middle ones.
