‏ Ezekiel 41:6-11

6 ^aThe side chambers were in three stories, ^{▼▼Lit chamber upon chamber}one above another, and ^{▼▼Lit thirty times}thirty in each story; and ^{▼▼Lit they were coming}the side chambers ^eextended to the wall which stood on ^{▼▼Lit the inside of the side chambers}their inward side all around, so that they could be attached, but not be attached to the wall of the temple itself. 7 And the side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the ^gstructure surrounding the temple went upward by stages on all sides of the temple, for that reason the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and so one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the ^{▼▼Lit middle}second story. 8 I saw also that the house had a raised ^{▼▼Lit height}platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full ^{▼▼Lit reed}rod of ^ksix ^{▼▼Or to the joint}long cubits in height. 9 The ^{▼▼Lit width}thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the ⁿfree space between the side chambers belonging to the temple 10 and the outer ^ochambers was twenty cubits in width around the temple on every side. 11 The ^{▼▼Lit doorway}doorways of the side ^{▼▼Lit chamber}chambers toward the ^rfree space consisted of one doorway toward the north, and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the ^sfree space was five cubits all around.
