Ezekiel 42:1-8

1 And he led me out into the outermore foreyard, by the way leading to the north; and he led me into the chamber, that was against the building separated, and against the house going to the north; (And he led me out to the outer courtyard, by the way leading to the north; and he led me into the room that was facing the open space, and the building/s to the north;)
2 in the face, an hundred cubits of length of the (side of the) door of the north, and fifty cubits of breadth, (on its front, the side of the door on the north was a hundred cubits in length, and fifty cubits in breadth,)
3 (over) against twenty cubits of the inner foreyard, and (over) against the pavement arrayed with stone of the outermore foreyard, where a porch was joined to (a) three-fold porch.
4 And before the chambers was a walking (place) of ten cubits of breadth, beholding to the inner things of the way of one (hundred) cubit(s). And the doors of those to the north, (And before the rooms was a walking place of ten cubits in breadth, and a length of one hundred cubits, facing the inner courtyard. And their doors, or their entrances, faced north,)
5 where (the) chambers were lower in the higher things; for those bare up the porches that appeared on high of those from the lower things, and from the middle things of the building.
6 For those were of three stages, and had not pillars, as were the pillars of [the] foreyards; therefore those stood on high from the lower things, and from the middle things from [the] earth, by fifty cubits. (For they were of three stages, and did not have pillars, like the pillars of the courtyards; and so they stood on high from the ground, from the lower things, and from the middle things.)
7 And the outermore hall closing the walking place was by the chambers, that were in the way of the outermore foreyard, before the chambers; the length thereof was of fifty cubits. (And the outside wall enclosing the walking place was by the rooms, that were on the way of the outer courtyard, and in front of the rooms; its length was fifty cubits.)
8 For the length of the chambers of the outermore foreyard was of fifty cubits, and the length before the face of the temple was of an hundred cubits. (For the length of the rooms of the outer courtyard was fifty cubits, and the length of the rooms facing the Temple was a hundred cubits.)
