Ezekiel 41:6–11

^6cThe side chambers were in three stories, one above the other, thirty chambers in each story; they rested on ³ledges which were for the side chambers all around, that they might be supported, but ^dnot fastened to the wall of the temple. ⁷As one went up from story to story, the side chambers ^ebecame wider all around, because their supporting ledges in the wall of the temple ascended like steps; therefore the width of the structure increased as one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the middle one. ⁸I also saw an elevation all around the temple; it was the foundation of the side chambers, ^fa full rod, that is, six cubits high. ⁹The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits, and so also the remaining terrace by the place of the side chambers of the ⁴temple. ¹⁰And between it and the wall chambers was a width of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side. ¹¹The doors of the side chambers opened on the terrace, one door toward the north and another toward the south; and the width of the terrace was five cubits all around.
