Ezekiel 42:2-8
2The length of the building whose door faced north was aa hundred cubits, ▼▼A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters
and cthe breadth fifty cubits. 3Facing dthe twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court, and facing ethe pavement that belonged to the outer court, was fgallery ▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew word is unknown; also verse 5
against gallery in three stories. 4And hbefore the chambers was a passage inward, ten cubits wide and ia hundred cubits long, ▼▼Septuagint, Syriac; Hebrew and a way of one cubit
and ktheir doors were on the north. 5Now the upper chambers were narrower, for the galleries took more away from them than from the lower and middle chambers of the building. 6For they were in three stories, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the courts. Thus the upper chambers were set back from the ground more than the lower and the middle ones. 7And lthere was a wall outside parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, opposite the chambers, mfifty cubits long. 8For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those opposite nthe nave ▼▼Or temple
were pa hundred cubits long.
