Ezekiel 42 — Context

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.

7

As for the outer wall by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, its length was fifty cubits.

8

For the length of the chambers which were in the outer court was fifty cubits; and behold, the length of those facing the temple was a hundred cubits.

9

Below these chambers was the entrance on the east side, as one enters them from the outer court.
