⁵And he measured the wall of the temple as six cubits,^o and the width of the side room as four cubits^p all along the outside wall for the temple all around the wall.^q ⁶And the side rooms were side by side^r in three stories and a total of thirty rooms,^s and there were offsets^t in the wall, which was for the temple for the side rooms, all the way around^u to be supports, and so they were not supports extending into the wall of the temple. ⁷And each level widened, and it went around^v upward^w to the side rooms for the structure that surrounds^x the temple upward^y all the way around,^z therefore the width increased to the temple upward,^a and thus the lower level goes up to the upper level by means of the middle story.

⁸And I saw for the temple a platform all the way around^b the foundations of the side rooms; it was the length of a full reed, six cubits long.^c ⁹The width of the outside wall, which was for the side room to the outside, was five cubits,^d and a space that was set between the side rooms, which was for the temple
