9the pavement that belonged to the outer court, was
10gallery against gallery in three stories.

And
11before the chambers was a passage inward, ten cubits wide and
12a hundred cubits long, and
13their doors were on the north.

And
14there was a wall outside parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, opposite the chambers,
15fifty cubits long.
