Ezekiel 42 — Context

1

And he took me out into the inner square in the direction of the north: and he took me into the rooms which were opposite the separate place and opposite the building to the north.

2

On the north side it was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide,

3

Opposite the space of twenty cubits which was part of the inner square, and opposite the stone floor of the outer square. There were covered ways facing one another on the third floor.

4

And in front of the rooms was a walk, ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long; and their doors were facing north.

5

And the higher rooms were shorter: for the covered ways took up more space from these than from the lower and middle rooms.

6

For they were on three floors, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the outer square; so the highest was narrower than the lowest and middle floors from the earth level.

7

And the wall which went outside by the side of the rooms, in the direction of the outer square in front of the rooms, was fifty cubits long.
