⁵After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every ⁱside chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side. ⁶And ⁱthe side chambers ^kwere three, ^†one over another, and ^||thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for ⁱthe side chambers round about, that they might ^†have hold, but ^kthey had not hold in the wall of the house. ⁷And ^†^mthere was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to ⁱthe side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so ⁿincreased ⁿⁿfrom the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst. ⁸I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of ⁱthe side chambers were ^oa full reed of six great cubits. ⁹The thickness of the wall, which was for ⁱthe side chamber without, was five cubits: and ^pthat which was left was the place of ⁱthe side chambers that were within.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits thick, and the breadth of the side chambers, four cubits, all around the temple. And the side chambers were in three stories, one over another, thirty in each story. There were offsets all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side chambers, so that they should not be supported by the wall of the temple. And it became broader as it wound upward to the side chambers, because the temple was enclosed upward all around the temple. Thus the temple had a broad area upward, and so one went up from the lowest story to the top story through the middle story. I saw also that the temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed of six long cubits. The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. The free space between the side chambers of the temple

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was six cubits thick, and each side room around the temple was four cubits wide. The side rooms were on three levels, one above another, thirty on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports were not inserted into the wall of the temple. The side rooms all around the temple were wider at each successive level. The structure surrounding the temple was built in ascending stages, so that the rooms widened as one went upward. A stairway went up from the lowest floor to the top floor through the middle floor.

I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the length of the rod, six long cubits. The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick. The open area between the side rooms of the temple

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was 10½ feet thick. The width of the side rooms all around the temple was 7 feet. The side rooms were arranged one above another in three stories of thirty rooms each. There were ledges on the wall of the temple all around to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be in the temple wall itself. The side rooms surrounding the temple widened at each successive story, for the structure surrounding the temple went up by stages. This was the reason for the temple’s broadness as it rose. And so, one would go up from the lowest story to the highest by means of the middle one.

I saw that the temple had a raised platform surrounding it; this foundation for the side rooms was 10½ feet high. The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was 8¾ feet. The free space between the side rooms of the temple

NLTNew Living Translation

Then he measured the wall of the Temple, and it was 10½ feet thick. There was a row of rooms along the outside wall; each room was 7 feet wide. These side rooms were built in three levels, one above the other, with thirty rooms on each level. The supports for these side rooms rested on exterior ledges on the Temple wall; they did not extend into the wall. Each level was wider than the one below it, corresponding to the narrowing of the Temple wall as it rose higher. A stairway led up from the bottom level through the middle level to the top level.

I saw that the Temple was built on a terrace, which provided a foundation for the side rooms. This terrace was 10½ feet high. The outer wall of the Temple’s side rooms was 8¾ feet thick. This left an open area between these side rooms

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And he measured the wall of the temple as six cubits, and the width of the side room as four cubits all along the outside wall for the temple all around the wall. And the side rooms were side by side in three stories and a total of thirty rooms, and there were offsets in the wall, which was for the temple for the side rooms, all the way around to be supports, and so they were not supports extending into the wall of the temple. And each level widened, and it went around upward to the side rooms for the structure that surrounds the temple upward all the way around, therefore the width increased to the temple upward, and thus the lower level goes up to the upper level by means of the middle story.

And I saw for the temple a platform all the way around the foundations of the side rooms; it was the length of a full reed, six cubits long. The width of the outside wall, which was for the side room to the outside, was five cubits, and a space that was set between the side rooms, which was for the temple
