Ezekiel 42:1-10

1 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was over against the building toward the north.
2 Before the length of one hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.
3 Over against the twenty [cubits] which belonged to the inner court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story.
4 Before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits' breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.
5 Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middle, in the building.
6 For they were in three stories, and they didn't have pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the uppermost] was straitened more than the lowest and the middle from the ground.
7 The wall that was outside by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, the length of it was fifty cubits.
8 For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits: and, behold, before the temple were one hundred cubits.
9 From under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.
10 In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers.
